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

The maintenance of quiescence in T cells plays a pivotal role in averting undesired immune reactions and fostering immune homeostasis. Upon receiving external signals of cognate antigen and costimulatory molecules, T cells escape a quiescent state and rapidly proliferate within an exceedingly short timeframe. Nevertheless, for the majority of their lifespan, T cells remain inactive before stimulation, yet they are highly poised to future activation, implicating the presence of dynamic and intricate regulatory processes in a seemingly dormant state. While numerous extrinsic cues have been identified to induce T cell activation from a quiescence currently, intrinsic mechanisms governing T cell quiescence have received limited attention. Here we provide a comprehensive overview of multiple factors involved in T cell quiescence and their molecular mechanisms mainly in the context of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. Given the intricate interplay between the control of T cell quiescence and a variety of diseases including autoimmunity, exhaustion and even tumor control, a thorough understanding of current insights into T cell quiescence affords us a valuable opportunity to advance our comprehension of T cell biology.
