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

Recent studies have suggested that vaccination induces alterations in the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire. We investigate the diversity of the TCR repertoire after immunization with a recombinant hepatitis B surface vaccine in seven healthy subjects in CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood lymphocytes. Cellular immune responses were monitored over time by sorting CD8 T cells followed by TCR-VA and -VB complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) analysis. Frequency of individual VB families was determined by flow cytometry. TCR-VA/VB repertoires obtained from CD8+ T cells drawn after vaccination were compared to the TCR repertoire determined prior to vaccination. Monoclonal TCR transcripts could be detected exclusively in CD8+, but not in CD4+ T cells. Such monoclonal TCR transcripts were either stable in some individuals, or could only be detected at certain time points after vaccination. Sorting of monoclonal TCR-VB3+ T cells, which constituted up to 5% of the CD8+ T cell population from one individual, revealed that this T cell clone recognizes an epitope provided by the recombinant hepatitis B vaccine presented by MHC-class I on autologous antigen-presenting cells. Examination of the structural anatomy, defined by the TCR, and the frequency of T cells responding to the immunizing antigen may be helpful to provide surrogate markers to monitor cellular immune responses induced by protein antigens utilized for vaccination.
