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

Polyoma virus is a potent oncogenic pathogen when inoculated into newborn mice of particular H-2(k) strains. Using D(k) tetramers containing the dominant antipolyoma CD8(+) T cell epitope, middle T protein (MT)389-397, and intracellular interferon gamma staining, we enumerated MT389-specific CD8(+) T cells in infected neonates having opposite susceptibilities to polyoma virus-induced tumors. In resistant mice, MT389-specific CD8(+) T cells dramatically expanded during acute infection in neonates to a frequency rivaling that in adults; furthermore, in both neonatal and adult mice, this antipolyoma CD8(+) T cell response exhibited nearly identical T cell receptor (TCR) functional avidities and TCR functional fingerprints. Susceptible mice mounted an MT389-specific CD8(+) T cell response of only fourfold lower magnitude than resistant mice; but, in clear contrast to resistant mice, these CD8(+) T cells lacked ex vivo MT389-specific cytotoxic activity. However, MT389-specific CD8(+) T cells in resistant and susceptible mice expressed similar TCR avidities, perforin levels, and surface type O-glycan levels indicative of mature CD8(+) T cell effectors. Upon in vitro restimulation with infected antigen-presenting cells, CD8(+) T cells from acutely infected susceptible neonates acquired strong MT389-specific cytotoxicity. These findings indicate that polyoma-specific CD8(+) T cells are armed with, but restrained from deploying, their cytotoxic effector function in mice susceptible to polyoma virus tumorigenesis.
