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

We define a novel Bcl-x isoform, Bcl-x gamma, that is generated by alternative splicing and characterized by a unique 47 amino acid C-terminus. Bcl-x gamma is expressed primarily in thymocytes, where it may depend on an interaction between the TCR and host MHC products, and in mature T cells, where its expression is associated with ligation of the T cell receptor. Overexpression of Bcl-x gamma in T cells inhibits activation-induced apoptosis; inhibition of Bcl-x gamma, after stable expression of Bcl-x gamma antisense cDNA, enhances activation-induced apoptosis. In contrast to other Bcl-x isoforms, cells that fail to express Bcl-x gamma after CD3 ligation undergo programmed cell death, while activated T cells that express Bcl-x gamma are spared. Identification of Bcl-x gamma helps provide a molecular explanation of T cell activation and death after antigen engagement.
