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

Several lines of evidence suggest that CD8 T cells are important in protection against tuberculosis. To understand the function of this cell population in the immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, T cells from lungs of M. tuberculosis-infected mice were examined by flow cytometry. The kinetics of the appearance of CD8 T cells in lungs of infected mice closely paralleled that of CD4 T cells. Both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells displaying an activated phenotype were found in the lungs as early as 1 week postinfection. By 2 weeks, total cell numbers in the lungs had tripled and percentages of T cells were increased two- to threefold; the percentages of CD4(+) T cells were ca. twofold higher than those of CD8(+) T cells. Short-term stimulation with M. tuberculosis-infected antigen-presenting cells induced cytokine production by primed CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. Intracellular cytokine staining revealed that 30% +/- 5% of CD4(+) and 23% +/- 4% of CD8(+) T cells were primed for production of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). However, a difference in in vivo IFN-gamma production by T cells was observed with approximately 12% of CD4(+) T cells and approximately 5% of CD8(+) T cells secreting cytokine in the lungs at any given time during infection. The data presented indicate that although early in infection the majority of IFN-gamma is produced by CD4(+) T cells, cytokine-producing CD8(+) T cells are readily available when triggered by the appropriate stimuli.
