Impaired central tolerance induces changes in the gut microbiota that exacerbate autoimmune hepatitis.
Article in Journal of autoimmunity, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) induce T cell tolerance in the thymus through the elimination of self-reactive thymocytes. Commensal bacteria are also critical for shaping T cell responses in the gut and distal organs. We previously showed that mice depleted of mTECs (Traf6ΔTEC) generated autoreactive T cells and developed autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). In this report, we found that Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated microbial sensing on liver hematopoietic cells and the gut microbiota contributed to AIH development in Traf6ΔTEC mice. While adoptive transfer of thymic Traf6ΔTEC T cells in immune-deficient mice was sufficient for AIH development, colonization of germ-free mice with Traf6ΔTEC microbiota failed to induce AIH, suggesting that the gut microbiota contributes to but is not sufficient for AIH development. Microbiota-mediated exacerbation of AIH associated with increased numbers of hepatic Foxp3
