ZFP36-family RNA-binding proteins in regulatory T cells reinforce immune homeostasis.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
RNA binding proteins (RBP) of the ZFP36 family limit the differentiation and effector functions of CD4 and CD8 T cells, but little is known of their expression or function in regulatory T (Treg) cells. By using Treg cell-restricted deletion of Zfp36 family members we identify the role of Zfp36l1 and Zfp36l2 in Treg cells to maintain immune homeostasis. Mice with Treg cells deficient in these RBP display an inflammatory phenotype with an expansion in the numbers of type-2 conventional dendritic cells, T effector cells, T follicular helper and germinal center B cells and elevated serum cytokines and immunoglobulins. In the absence of Zfp36l1 and Zfp36l2, the pool of cycling CTLA-4 in naïve Treg cells is reduced, Treg cells are less sensitive to IL-2 and IL-7 but are more sensitive to IFNγ. In mice lacking both RBP in Treg cells, the deletion of a single allele of Ifng is sufficient to ameliorate the pathology. Our results indicate that ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2 regulate the availability of IFNγ and are required for the maintenance of Treg cell stability. Thus, ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2 regulate multiple pathways that enable Treg cells to enforce immune homeostasis.
