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

CD8+ T cell exhaustion is a complex process involving the differentiation of persistently activated CD8+ T cells into functionally distinct cell subsets. Here, we investigated the role of the key epigenetic regulator histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) in the differentiation of exhausted T (Tex) cells during chronic viral infection. We uncovered that HDAC1 controls the generation and maintenance of effector-like CX3CR1+ Tex cells in a CD8+ T cell-intrinsic manner. Deletion of HDAC1 led to expansion of an alternative Tex subset characterized by high expression of T cell exhaustion markers, and this was accompanied by elevated viremia. HDAC1 bound to and facilitated an open chromatin state of effector-like signature gene loci in progenitor Tex cells, thereby priming cell fate specification toward the CX3CR1+ Tex subset. Our study uncovers a selective role for HDAC1 in CX3CR1+ Tex subset differentiation, which is essential for controlling viral load during chronic infection.
