Lack of canonical thyroid hormone receptor α signaling changes regulatory T cell phenotype in female mice.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The immune system has emerged as an important target of thyroid hormones (THs); however, the role of TH in T cells has so far remained elusive. In this study, we assessed the effect of TH receptor α (TRα) signaling on activation and function of T cells. Our findings show that lack of canonical TRα action not only increased the frequency of regulatory T cells (Treg) but propelled an activated and migratory Treg phenotype and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation in Treg. Conversely, canonical TRα action reduced activation of the NF-κB pathway previously shown to play a pivotal role in Treg differentiation and function. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that TRα impacts T cell differentiation and phenotype. Given the well-known interaction of inflammation, immune responses, and TH axis in e.g., severe illness, altered TH-TRα signaling may have an important role in regulating T cell responses during disease.
