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 absence of cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity and the failure of MHC class I-restricted T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic thymocytes to mature in CD8alpha-deficient mice suggest that CD8 may be essential for CD8 lineage commitment. We report that variants of the antigenic peptide that delete TCR transgenic thymocytes from CD8 wild-type but not CD8alpha-deficient mice can restore positive selection of CD8 lineage cells in the absence of CD8. The positively selected cells down-regulate CD4, up-regulate TCR, respond to the antigenic peptide, and express CD8beta mRNA. Interestingly, there was no enhanced selection of CD4+ T cells, implying that the TCR-MHC interaction, even in the absence of CD8, provided instructive signaling for commitment to the CD8 lineage. Our results are discussed in terms of recent models of T cell lineage commitment.
