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

BALB/c mice are resistant to measles virus (MV)-induced encephalitis due to their strong MV-specific CD4(+) T-cell response. Resistance is broken by neutralization of gamma interferon with monoclonal antibodies, indicating an important role for this pleiotropic cytokine. Here, we demonstrate that mouse gamma interferon has no direct antiviral effect in vitro and in vivo. The breakdown of resistance is due neither to a switch in the T-helper response nor to an impaired migration of CD4(+) T cells. Neutralization of gamma interferon interferes with the major histocompatibility complex class II-dependent antigen presentation and subsequent proliferation of CD4(+) T cells in vitro and in vivo. In consequence, the reduction in numbers of CD4(+) T cells below a protective threshold leads to susceptibility to MV-induced encephalitis.
