Recent advances on the role of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of spondyloarthritis.
Review in Seminars in immunopathology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with complex etiology and pathogenesis. Its pathogenesis likely involves a combination of different factors. These factors include host genetics, environmental triggers, and immune and microbiota dysregulation. One of the strongest genetic associations with SpA is HLA-B27, implicating the involvement of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in SpA pathogenesis. Despite this discovery dating back decades ago, the CTL compartment that underlies SpA inflammation has yet to be fully defined until recently. Indeed, recent published studies support a significant role that CTLs play in contributing to chronic joint inflammation, which is a hallmark of SpA pathology. In this review chapter, we discuss emerging evidence that supports a newfound role of CTLs in SpA pathogenesis. This emerging evidence includes enrichment of CTL-related genes from genome-wide association studies, overrepresentation of pathogenic synovial CTL phenotype, clonal expansion, and immune dysregulation of CTLs. The discoveries of this mounting evidence suggest that CTL homeostasis is altered, and a disrupted adaptive immunity underlies the chronic inflammatory features seen in SpA pathology.
