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

Despite the well-established role of interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing γδ T cells (γδT17 cells) in autoimmune inflammations, key factors to trigger the activation of γδT17 cells remain largely unknown. Here, we show that aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is markedly reduced upon γδT17 cell activation. AhR deficiency and pharmacological activation promotes and suppresses γδT17 cell activation, respectively. Mechanistically, AhR deficiency strengthens heat shock protein family A member 9 (HSPA9)-mediated competition with F-box and WD-40 domain protein 11(FBXW11) for binding to RBP-j-associated molecule (RAM) domain of Notch intracellular domain (NICD), which impairs FBXW11-dependent NICD ubiquitination to increase NICD occupancy at the
