Imbalance of circulating Tfr/Tfh ratio in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Article in Clinical and experimental medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Follicular helper T(Tfh) cells and follicular regulatory T(Tfr) cells are critical for the development and maintenance of germinal center and humoral immune responses. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the dysregulation of either Tfh or Tfr cells contributes to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the numbers of Tfh and Tfr cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Twenty-four patients with RA patients and 20 health controls (HCs) were enrolled in this study. We analyzed the numbers of Tfh (CD4
