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

Recent reports have demonstrated that the HIV-1 transactivator protein, tat, induces apoptosis in T-lymphocyte cell lines, as well as in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and stimulates a cascade of events resulting in up-regulation of the potent immunosuppressive cytokine, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). In this study we evaluated the ability of TGF-beta to mediate tat induced apoptosis in T-lymphocyte cell lines. T-cells treated exogenously with either TGF-beta1 or a combination of tat and pan-specific TGF-beta neutralizing antibodies showed little change in the amount of apoptosis. When treated with pan-specific TGF-beta neutralizing antibodies, Jurkat cells that stably express tat protein (Jurkat-tat ) showed only a modest decrease in apoptosis, while CEM-TART cells (CEM T-cells expressing both HIV-1 tat and rev ) demonstrated little change in the amount of apoptosis. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that TGF-beta does not play a significant role in mediating tat induced T-cell apoptosis.
