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

Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (Lag3) is an inhibitory co-receptor expressed on activated T cells and has been proposed to regulate regulatory T (Treg) cell function. However, its precise modality and mechanisms remain elusive. We generated Treg cell-specific Lag3-mutant mouse models and found that Lag3 was essential for Treg cell control of autoimmunity. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that Lag3 mutation altered genes associated with metabolic processes, especially Myc target genes. Myc expression in Lag3-mutant Treg cells was increased to the level seen in conventional T helper (Th)1-type effector cells and directly correlated with their metabolic profiles and in vivo suppressive functions. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt-Rictor pathway was activated in Lag3-mutant Treg cells, and inhibiting PI3K, Rictor, or lactate dehydrogenase A (Ldha), a key Myc target enzyme converting pyruvate to lactate, was sufficient to restore normal metabolism and suppressive function in Lag3-mutant Treg cells. These findings indicate that Lag3 supports Treg cell suppression partly by tuning Myc-dependent metabolic programming.
