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

T lymphocytes consist of αβ and γδ T cells, which mature and differentiate from the same progenitor cells in the thymus. Cullin-RING ligases (CRLs), the largest family of ubiquitin ligases, require neddylation on the scaffold protein Cullins for their ligase activity. The role of neddylation-CRL system in thymus development and fate determination of αβ/γδ T cells remains elusive. Here, we generated conditional knockout mouse models with thymus individual deletion of Ube2m or Ube2f, 2 neddylation E2-conjugating enzymes, and Rbx1 or Sag, 2 dual neddylation and ubiquitylation E3 ligases. We found that only Rbx1, but not Ube2m/Ube2f, nor Sag, plays an essential role in thymus development and fate determination of αβ/γδ T cells. Specifically, Rbx1 loss causes shrinkage of the thymus, delayed T cell development, increased γδ T cells in the thymus, increased the ratio of immature
