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

The beta-chemokines, RANTES, MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta, have been implicated as being some of the protective factors in the immune response against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We have presented data previously indicating that these chemokines also play a role in protective immunity against HIV/SIV infection in macaques. The aim of this study was to investigate the production of beta-chemokines in eight cynomolgus macaques vaccinated with non-pathogenic SHIV-4 in relation to protection against pathogenic SIVsm challenge. Four control animals were also included in the study. Two of the vaccinated monkeys were completely protected and one was partially protected against the challenge virus. The monkeys that resisted infectious SIVsm virus challenge showed higher spontaneous beta-chemokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells and had higher numbers of antigen-induced IFN-gamma secreting cells compared to the non-protected animals. Our observations support our previous findings that the genetic background of the host and/or environmental factors are involved in the chemokine production and that beta-chemokines contribute to protection against HIV/SIV infection.
