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 cell specification and commitment require Notch signaling. Although the requirement for Notch signaling during intrathymic T cell development is known, it is still unclear whether the onset of T cell priming can occur in a prethymic niche and whether RBPJ-dependent Notch signaling has a role during this event. Here, we established an Rbpj-inducible system that allowed temporal and tissue-specific control of the responsiveness to Notch in all hematopoietic cells. Using this system, we found that Notch signaling was required before the early T cell progenitor stage in the thymus. Lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors in the bone marrow underwent Notch signaling with Rbpj induction, which inhibited development towards the myeloid lineage in thymus-seeding progenitors. Thus, our results indicated that the onset of T cell differentiation occurred in a prethymic setting, and that Notch played an important role during this event.
