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

Semaphorins are a large family of proteins originally identified for their roles in axon guidance during neural development. Recent findings have established the importance of semaphorins members in modulating diverse immune responses of T cells in vitro and in vivo. Class 3 semaphorins, typified by Sema3A, signal through Neuropilin-1 and Plexin-A receptors in an activation-dependent manner, suppressing effector proliferation while promoting regulatory T cell stability and shaping cytokine profiles in autoimmunity and cancer. Sema3E and Sema3F similarly fine-tune host defense and inflammation by directing Th1/Th17 responses or restraining aberrant chemotaxis. Class 4 members, such as Sema4A and Sema4D, engage Plexin-B1, Plexin-D1, and CD72 to deliver both "forward" co-stimulatory and "reverse" signals: they amplify CD4
