Autoimmunity associated with chemically induced thymic dysplasia.
Article in International immunology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions are frequent complications in patients with reduced numbers of T cells. Here, we describe a mouse model of thymic stromal dysplasia resulting in peripheral T-cell lymphopenia. In Foxn1:CFP-NTR transgenic mice, the bacterial nitroreductase enzyme is expressed in thymic epithelial cells and converts the prodrug CB1954 into a cytotoxic agent. This strategy enables titratable and durable destruction of thymopoietic tissue in early embryogenesis. Our results indicate that the resulting low levels of thymic capacity for T-cell production create a predisposition for the development of a complex autoimmune syndrome, chiefly characterized by inflammatory bowel disease and lymphocytic organ infiltrations. We conclude that the Foxn1:CFP-NTR transgenic mouse strain represents a suitable animal model to optimize established clinical protocols, such as thymus transplantation, to correct various forms of thymic dysplasia and to explore novel treatment options.
