1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 pro-survival proteins of the BCL-2 family regulate the survival of all cells, and genetic deletion models for these proteins have revealed which specific BCL-2 family member(s) is/are critical for the survival of particular cell types. A1 is a pro-survival BCL-2-like protein that is expressed predominantly in haematopoietic cells, and here we describe the characterisation of a novel mouse strain that lacks all three functional isoforms of A1 (A1-a, A1-b and A1-d). Surprisingly, complete loss of A1 caused only minor defects, with significant, although relatively small, decreases in γδTCR T cells, antigen-experienced conventional as well as regulatory CD4 T cells and conventional dendritic cells (cDCs). When examining these cell types in tissue culture, only cDC survival was significantly impaired by the loss of A1. Therefore, A1 appears to be a surprisingly redundant pro-survival protein in the haematopoietic system and other tissues, suggesting that its targeting in cancer may be readily tolerated.
