Transcription factor TCF1 binds to RORγt and orchestrates a regulatory network that determines homeostatic Th17 cell state.

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.
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
T helper (Th) 17 cells encompass a spectrum of cell states, including cells that maintain homeostatic tissue functions and pro-inflammatory cells that can drive autoimmune tissue damage. Identifying regulators that determine Th17 cell states can identify ways to control tissue inflammation and restore homeostasis. Here, we found that interleukin (IL)-23, a cytokine critical for inducing pro-inflammatory Th17 cells, decreased transcription factor T cell factor 1 (TCF1) expression. Conditional deletion of TCF1 in mature T cells increased the pro-inflammatory potential of Th17 cells, even in the absence of IL-23 receptor signaling, and conferred pro-inflammatory potential to homeostatic Th17 cells. Conversely, sustained TCF1 expression decreased pro-inflammatory Th17 potential. Mechanistically, TCF1 bound to RORγt, thereby interfering with its pro-inflammatory functions, and orchestrated a regulatory network that determined Th17 cell state. Our findings identify TCF1 as a major determinant of Th17 cell state and provide important insight for the development of therapies for Th17-driven inflammatory diseases.
