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

T cells expressing the Vgamma4 T-cell receptor (TCR) promote myocarditis in coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-infected BALB/c mice. CD1, a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-like molecule, is required for activation of Vgamma4(+) cells. Once activated, Vgamma4(+) cells initiate myocarditis through gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-mediated induction of CD4(+) T helper type 1 (Th1) cells in the infected animal. These CD4(+) Th1 cells are required for activation of an autoimmune CD8(+) alphabeta TCR(+) effector, which is the predominant pathogenic agent in this model of CVB3-induced myocarditis. Activated Vgamma4(+) cells can adoptively transfer myocarditis into BALB/c mice infected with a nonmyocarditic variant of CVB3 (H310A1) but cannot transfer myocarditis into either uninfected or CD1(-/-) recipients, demonstrating the need for both infection and CD1 expression for Vgamma4(+) cell function. In contrast, CD8(+) alphabeta TCR(+) cells transfer myocarditis into either infected CD1(-/-) or uninfected recipients, showing that once activated, the CD8(+) alphabeta TCR(+) effectors function independently of both virus and CD1. Vgamma4(+) cells given to mice lacking CD4(+) T cells minimally activate the CD8(+) alphabeta TCR(+) cells. These studies show that Vgamma4(+) cells determine CVB3 pathogenicity by their ability to influence both the CD4(+) and CD8(+) adaptive immune response. Vgamma4(+) cells enhance CD4(+) Th1 (IFN-gamma(+)) cell activation through IFN-gamma- and CD1-dependent mechanisms. CD4(+) Th1 cells promote activation of the autoimmune CD8(+) alphabeta TCR(+) effectors.
