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

Mechano-modulation of cell surface proteins to influence cell activation has been shown as a promising new advanced therapy for regenerative medicine applications. These strategies rely on the manipulation of mechanosensitive cell surface receptors to initiate intracellular signal transduction. The cell surface receptor of T lymphocytes (TCR), which recognises peptide-MHC molecules central to driving the adaptive immune response, has recently been suggested to be mechano-responsive. Despite this advance, little is known as to whether the TCR can be mechanically modulated to achieve TCR signalling and subsequent T-cell activation, and whether these characteristics can be exploited for immunotherapies. Here, we describe a magnetic particle-based platform for mechanical modulation of the TCR and outline how this platform can be utilised to achieve CD4
