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 follicular helper (Tfh) and T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells are the two T cell subsets able to interact with B cells driving germinal center (GC) reactions. These T-B interactions are important for protective immune responses within secondary lymphoid tissue. However, the pathological emergence of ectopic lymphoid structures (ELS) that characterize several autoimmune diseases also involves Tfh and Tfr cells. ELS, often with ectopic GCs, can be identified through biopsies. Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an example of an autoimmune disease where minor salivary gland (MSG) biopsies are often performed for diagnosis and where ELS can be found. Here, we describe a protocol to identify and isolate T follicular cells from MSGs by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry.
