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

Stimulation via the T-cell receptor (TCR) activates p38α and p38β by phosphorylation of p38 Tyr-323 (p38(Y323)). Here we characterize knockin mice in which p38α and/or β Tyr-323 has been replaced with Phe. We find that p38α accounts for two-thirds and p38β the remainder of TCR-induced p38 activation. T cells from double knockin mice (p38αβ(Y323F)) had defects in TCR-mediated proliferation and Th1 and Th17 skewing, the former corresponding with an inability to sustain T-bet expression. Introduction of p38α(Y323F) into Gadd45α-deficient mice, in which the alternative p38 pathway is constitutively active, reversed T-cell hyperproliferation and autoimmunity. Furthermore, p38αβ(Y323F) mice had delayed onset and reduced severity of the inflammatory autoimmune diseases collagen-induced arthritis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Thus, T cell-specific alternative activation of p38 is an important pathway in T-cell proliferation, Th skewing, and inflammatory autoimmunity, and may be an attractive tissue-specific target for intervention in these processes.
