Whole-genome analysis of TET dioxygenase function in regulatory T cells.
Article in EMBO reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers.
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
TET methylcytosine dioxygenases are essential for the stability and function of regulatory T cells (Treg cells), which maintain immune homeostasis and self-tolerance and express the lineage-determining transcription factor Foxp3. Here, we use whole-genome analyses to show that the transcriptional program and epigenetic features (DNA modification, chromatin accessibility) of Treg cells are attenuated in the absence of Tet2 and Tet3. Conversely, the addition of the TET activator vitamin C during TGFβ-induced iTreg cell differentiation in vitro potentiates the expression of Treg signature genes and alters the epigenetic landscape to better resemble that of Treg cells generated in vivo. Vitamin C enhances IL-2 responsiveness in iTreg cells by increasing IL2Rα expression, STAT5 phosphorylation, and STAT5 binding, mimicking the IL-2/STAT5 dependence of Treg cells generated in vivo. In summary, TET proteins play essential roles in maintaining Treg molecular features and promoting their dependence on IL-2. TET activity during endogenous Treg development and potentiation of TET activity by vitamin C during iTreg differentiation are necessary to maintain the transcriptional and epigenetic features of Treg cells.
