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

Adaptive immunity allows an organism to respond in a specific manner to pathogens and other non-self-agents. Also, cells of the adaptive immune system, such as T and B lymphocytes, can mediate a memory of an encounter with a pathogen, allowing a more efficient response to a future infection. As for other aspects of physiology and of the immune system, the adaptive immune system is regulated by circadian clocks. Consequently, the development, differentiation, and trafficking between tissues of adaptive immune cells have been shown to display daily rhythms. Also, the response of T cells to stimuli (e.g., antigen presentation to T cells by dendritic cells) varies according to a circadian rhythm, due to T cell-intrinsic mechanisms as well as cues from other tissues. The circadian control of adaptive immune response has implications for our understanding of the fight against pathogens as well as auto-immune diseases, but also for vaccination, a preventive measure based on the development of immune memory.
