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

Previous studies have demonstrated that gammadelta T lymphocytes are important for host resistance to pulmonary infection of the murine lung by log-phase cells of Nocardia asteroides. To study the role of gammadelta T cells in nocardial interactions in the murine lung, C57BL/6J wild type and C57BL/6J-Tcrd (gammadelta T-cell knockout mice) were infected intranasally with log-phase cells of N. asteroides GUH-2. At 3, 5, and 7 days after infection, the gammadelta T cells were quantified by multiparameter flow cytometry. At the same time, Gram and hematoxylin-eosin stains of paraffin sections were performed to monitor the host responses. The data showed that gammadelta T lymphocytes increased significantly within the lungs after intranasal infection, and the peak of this cellular increase occurred at 5 days. Furthermore, at this time, greater than 50% of the CD3 T-cell receptor (TCR)-positive (CD3+) cells were gammadelta TCR positive. Histological examination clearly showed divergent inflammatory responses in the lungs of wild-type mice compared to gammadelta T-cell knockout mice. The C57BL/6J-Tcrd mice were less capable of clearing the organism, and the polymorphonuclear leukocyte response lasted longer than in wild-type C57BL/6J mice. These results showed that gammadelta T cells were actively involved in modulating the innate host responses to murine pulmonary infection by N. asteroides.
