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

Memory differentiation of CD4 and CD8 T-cell populations has been extensively studied and many key molecular players and transcriptional networks have been identified. But how regulatory principles, identified on this population level, translate to immune responses that originate from single antigen-specific T cells is only now being elucidated. Here, we provide a short summary of the approaches used for mapping the fate of individual T cells and their progeny in vivo. We then highlight which major questions, with respect to memory T-cell differentiation, have been addressed by studying the development of single-cell-derived T-cell families during infection or vaccination. We discuss how fate decisions of single T cells are modulated by the affinity of their TCR and further shaped through a coregulation of T-cell differentiation and T-cell proliferation. These current findings indicate the early segregation into slowly dividing T central memory precursors (CMPs) and rapidly dividing non-CMPs, as a key event that separates the developmental paths of long- and short-lived T cells.
