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

Peripheral blood CD8+ T lymphocytes generally express the CD8 coreceptor as an alphabeta heterodimer. On these cells, the CD8beta chain is present either at high (CD8betahigh) or low density (CD8betalow). CD8betahigh cells are CD28+, whereas CD8betalow cells are CD28+ or CD28-. Therefore, three subpopulations of CD8+ T cells can be described: (i) CD8betahighCD28+ (ii) CD8betalowCD28+, and (iii) CD8betalowCD28- cells. Phenotypic and functional characterization of these CD8+ T cell subsets revealed significant differences. CD8betahighCD28+ cells predominantly express CD45RA. In contrast, CD8betalowCD28+ cells frequently express CD45R0 and the activating NK receptor CD161. CD8betalowCD28- cells frequently revert to the CD45RA phenotype. In addition, these cells express CD16, CD56, CD94, and the killer-inhibitory receptors NKB1 and CD158a. Intracellular IL-2 was frequently detected in CD8betahighCD28+ cells and CD8betalowCD28+ cells, but not CD8betalowCD28- cells. CD8betalowCD28+ cells and CD8betalowCD28- cells frequently stained positive for IFN-gamma. In addition, these cells contain intracellular perforin and granzyme A. Expression of Fas (CD95) as well as susceptibility to apoptosis is markedly increased in CD8betalowCD28+ and CD8betalowCD28- cells as compared to CD8betahighCD28+ cells. In vitro activation of peripheral blood lymphocytes triggered expansion of CD8betahighCD28+ cells as well as a development into CD8betalowCD28+ and CD8betalowCD28- cells. Similarly, activation of CD8betahighCD28+ cord blood cells resulted in the appearance of CD8betalowCD28+ and CD8betalowCD28- cells. These data suggest that CD8betahighCD28+ cells can differentiate into CD8betalowCD28+ and CD8betalowCD28- cells upon TCR stimulation. Therefore, the CD8beta/CD28 subsets in peripheral blood may reflect distinct stages of post-thymic CD8+T cell development.
