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

backgroundThe highly organized structures of the immunological synapse (IS) are crucial for T cell activation. PDZ domains might be involved in the formation of the IS by serving as docking sites for protein interactions. In this study, we investigate the role of the PALS1-associated tight junction protein (PATJ), which contains 10 PDZ domains, in the formation of IS and its subsequent impact on T cell activation.

methodsTo elucidate the function of PATJ, we generated murine models with conditional T cell-specific knockout of

resultsWe observed a rapid increase in PATJ expression during T cell activation. Conditional knockout of

conclusionsOur study reveals an important role of PATJ in the formation of IS and provides an approach to improve the efficacy of CAR-T therapy.
