Interaction of TIM4 and TIM3 induces T helper 1 cell apoptosis.
Article in Immunologic research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The T helper 1 (Th1) polarization plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory disorders in the body; the remedies in the correction of polarized Th1 cells are limited. This study aims to investigate the role of T cell immunoglobulin mucin domain molecule 4 (TIM4) in the induction of Th1 cell apoptosis. In this study, polarized Th1 cells were generated from naive Th1 cells from the mouse spleen. Recombinant TIM4 was added to the culture to stimulate the polarized Th1 cells. The apoptosis of Th1 cells was assessed by flow cytometry. The expression of FasL was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation, real time RT-PCR, and Western blotting. The results showed that the polarized Th1 cells expressed high levels of TIM3. After exposure of the polarized Th1 cells to TIM4 in the culture, a complex of TIM3 and TIM4 was detected on the surface of Th1 cells, which induced the Th1 cell apoptosis. The engagement of TIM3 by TIM4 increased p300 phosphorylation in Th1 cells, which further increased the levels of Fas ligand in the cells and induced Th1 cell apoptosis. In conclusion, TIM4 binds TIM3 on the surface of polarized Th1 cells to induce Th1 cell apoptosis, which may contribute to the development of Th2-dominant immune disorders.
