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

Src family kinase Lck plays critical roles during T cell development and activation, as it phosphorylates the TCR/CD3 complex to initiate TCR signaling. Lck is present either in coreceptor-bound or coreceptor-unbound (free) forms, and we here present evidence that the two pools of Lck have different molecular properties. We discovered that the free Lck fraction exhibited higher mobility than CD8α-bound Lck in OT-I T hybridoma cells. The free Lck pool showed more activating Y394 phosphorylation than the coreceptor-bound Lck pool. Consistent with this, free Lck also had higher kinase activity, and free Lck mediated higher T cell activation as compared to coreceptor-bound Lck. Furthermore, the coreceptor-Lck coupling was independent of TCR activation. These findings give insights into the initiation of TCR signaling, suggesting that changes in coreceptor-Lck coupling constitute a mechanism for regulation of T cell sensitivity.
