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

Vectors based on Semliki Forest virus (SFV) have been widely used in vitro and in vivo to express heterologous genes in animal cells. In particular, the ability of recombinant SFV (rSFV) to elicit specific, protective immune responses in animal models suggests that rSFV may be used as a vaccine vehicle. In this study, we examined the distribution of rSFV in vivo by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR after intravenous, intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of rSFV particles and related this to the degree of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses and frequency of specific T cells detected by MHC-I tetramers. We found that after i.v. injection, rSFV-RNA was distributed to a variety of different tissues, whereas it was confined locally after i.m. and s.c. injections. The persistence of the rSFV vector was transient, and no viral RNA could be detected 10 days after inoculation. All tested routes of immunization generated significant levels of antigen-specific CTL responses and increased numbers of specific CD8+ T cells, as detected by tetramer binding. The distribution of antigen-specific CTLs correlated with the in vivo distribution pattern of rSFV, with a highest frequency in the spleen or local lymph node, depending on the injection route.
