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

Personalized cell therapies for autoimmune diseases - such as autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and chimeric antigen receptor-expressing T cells - have the potential to achieve sustained remission in patients with certain autoimmune diseases. The effective elimination of pathogenic lymphocytes and their subsequent repopulation with naive cells has been termed 'immune reset'. In this Perspective, we trace the origins of the immune reset concept and its clinical, cellular and molecular definitions, and we review current attempts to identify biomarkers for long-term clinical remission in autoimmune diseases. Emerging data from clinical trials support the concept that higher probabilities of long-term remission can be achieved with therapies that can more deeply and broadly deplete B cells than the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab. A better understanding of the cellular and molecular basis for immune reset and the biomarkers associated with this state should accelerate progress towards the goal of restoring a non-autoimmune state and sustaining remission, while reducing the need for chronic immunosuppression.
