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

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to play a protective role in glomerulonephritis (GN) and Foxp3 is a master transcription factor in Treg development. In this study, we examined the functional role and mechanisms of Foxp3 in a mouse model of accelerated anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) GN induced in antigen-primed Foxp3 transgenic (Tg) mice. Compared with littermate of wildtype (WT) mice in which induced severe crescentic GN developed with progressive renal dysfunction, Foxp3 Tg mice had reduced crescent formation, urinary protein excretion, plasma creatinine and decline in creatinine clearance. The protective role of Foxp3 in crescentic GN was associated with a markedly suppressed expression of proinflammatory interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and diminished infiltration of the kidneys by CD3
