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

purposeTo identify distinct Th-like regulatory T cell (Treg) subsets in the peripheral blood of individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and investigate potential factors that affect Treg polarization within the context of autoimmunity.

methodsA total of 49 T1D patients and 20 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled in this study. Th-like Treg subsets, including Th1-like, Th2-like and Th17-like Tregs, as well as Th cell subsets in peripheral blood were assessed by flow cytometry. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in Treg-related genes were analyzed. The levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA.

resultsWe observed a decreased frequency of Th1-like Tregs in peripheral blood of T1D patients, while the proportion of total Foxp3

conclusionOur study has provided novel evidence on the altered plasticity and the possible mechanisms underlying the transformation of conventional Tregs towards Th1-like and Th17-like Tregs in the peripheral blood of T1D patients. The findings serve to further augment our understanding of the Treg-mediated immune imbalance that plays a crucial role in the immunopathogenesis of T1D.
