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

The histone methyltransferase DOT1L is emerging as a central epigenetic regulator in immune cells. Loss of DOT1L during development of CD8 T cells in vivo leads to gain of memory characteristics but has also been reported to compromise CD8 T cell viability and antitumor reactivity. Here, we determined the cell-intrinsic role of DOT1L in mature mouse CD8 T cells. After conditional deletion of
