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

Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection induces immune-mediated demyelinating disease in susceptible mouse strains and serves as a relevant infectious model for human multiple sclerosis. To investigate the pathogenic mechanisms, two strains of TMEV (DA and BeAn), capable of inducing chronic demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS), have primarily been used. Here, we have compared the T-cell responses induced after infection with DA and BeAn strains in highly susceptible SJL/J mice. CD4(+) T-cell responses to known epitopes induced by these two strains were virtually identical. However, the CD8(+) T-cell response induced following DA infection in susceptible SJL/J mice was unable to recognize two of three H-2K(s)-restricted epitope regions of BeAn, due to single-amino-acid substitutions. Interestingly, T cells specific for the H-2K(s)-restricted epitope (VP1(11-20)) recognized by both strains showed a drastic increase in frequency as well as avidity after infection with DA virus. These results strongly suggest that the level and avidity of virus-specific CD8(+) T cells infiltrating the CNS could be drastically different after infection with these two strains of TMEV and may differentially influence the pathogenic and/or protective outcome.
