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

A wide variety of suppressive pathways have been investigated in efforts to understand the basis for immune tolerance. Although the contribution of CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) to self-tolerance has been extensively studied, less attention has been given to CD8+ Tregs. Here we review recent insights into the development, function, and potential clinical applications of this regulatory subset. We focus on CD8+ Tregs that recognize self-peptides associated with MHC-Ib products and that express Ly49/KIR (killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor) coinhibitory receptors. Recent analyses of their T cell receptor repertoire, thymic differentiation, and mechanism of suppression are summarized. Identification of the human homolog of these cells has suggested new strategies for CD8+ Treg-dependent immunotherapy for autoimmune disease and cancers.
