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

T follicular helper (TFH) cells are an integral part of humoral immunity by providing help to B cells to produce high-affinity antibodies. The TFH precursor compartment circulates in the blood and TFH cell dysregulation is implied in various autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes (T1D). Symptomatic T1D is preceded by a preclinical phase (indicated by the presence of islet autoantibodies) with a highly variable progression time to the symptomatic disease. This heterogeneity points toward differences in immune activation in children with a fast versus slow progressor phenotype. In the context of T1D, previous studies on TFH cells have mainly focused on the clinically active state of the disease. In this review article, we aim to specifically discuss recent insights on TFH cells in human islet autoimmunity before the onset of symptomatic T1D. Furthermore, we will highlight advances in the field of TFH differentiation and function during human islet autoimmunity. Specifically, we will focus on the regulation of TFH cells by microRNAs (miRNAs), as well as on the potential use of miRNAs as biomarkers to predict disease progression time and as future drug targets to interfere with autoimmune activation.
