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

During alpha beta thymocyte development, the clonotypic alpha beta-T cell receptor (TCR) is preceded by sequentially expressed immature versions of the TCR-CD3 complex: the pre-TCR, containing a clonotypic TCR-beta chain and invariant pre-Talpha, is expressed on pre-T cells before rearrangement of the TCR-alpha locus. Moreover, clonotype-independent CD3 complexes (CIC) appear on pro-T cells before VDJ rearrangements of TCR-beta genes. The pre-TCR is known to mediate TCR-beta selection, the prerequisite for maturation of CD4(-)8(-) double negative (DN) thymocytes to the CD4(+)8(+) double positive stage. A developmental function of CIC has so far not been delineated. In mice single deficient and double deficient for CD3zeta/eta and/or p56(lck), we observe a pronounced reduction in the proportions of CD25(+) DN thymocytes that express intracellular TCR-beta chains. TCR-beta transcripts are reduced in parallel with TCR-beta polypeptide chains whereas no reduction in TCR-beta locus rearrangements could be detected. Wild-type levels of TCR-beta transcripts and of cells expressing TCR-beta polypeptide chains are induced by treatment with anti-CD3epsilon mAb. The data suggest that the initial expression of rearranged TCR-beta VDJ genes in pro-T cell to pre-T cell progression is dependent on CD3 complex signaling, and thus define a putative developmental function for CIC.
