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 cells are an important part of the adaptive immune system and play critical roles in the elimination of various pathogens. T cells could differentiate into distinct cellular subsets under different extracellular signals and then play different roles in maintaining host homeostasis and defense. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a conserved intracellular serine/threonine kinase which belongs to the phosphoinositide 3-kinase- (PI3K-) related kinase family. The mTOR signaling pathway is closely involved in a variety of cell biological processes, including cell growth and cell metabolism, by senses and integrates various environmental cues. Recent studies showed that mTOR including mTORC1 and mTORC2 is closely involved in the development of T cell subpopulations such as Th1, Th2, Th9, Th17, follicular helper T cells (Tfh), and Treg cells through distinctive pathways. We herein mainly focused on the recent progress in understanding the roles of mTOR in regulating the development and differentiation of CD4
