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

Protective immunity to asexual malaria parasites appears to be mediated predominantly by the CD4+ subset of T lymphocytes. To examine the role of this T-cell population in the immune response to the murine malaria parasite Plasmodium chabaudi, CD4+ clones derived from infected mice were raised and propagated in vitro. Analysis of the reactivity of clones responsive to parasite antigen demonstrated that the CD4+ cell response is heterogeneous and is consistent with the idea of two functionally distinct CD4+ subsets. Those populations derived early during primary infection secreted interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) upon antigenic stimulation in vitro, i.e. they had a cytokine repertoire typical of the delayed-type inflammatory T-helper 1 (Th1) CD4+ subset. In contrast, cells taken after clearance of a secondary infection produced IL-4 and acted as effective helper cells for anti-malarial antibody (Ab) synthesis in vitro, and thereby had the characteristics of Th2 cells. The appearance in vivo of Th1 and then Th2 clones specific for P. chabaudi-parasitized erythrocytes (pRBC) supports the proposal from limiting culture analyses that for this malaria parasite resolution of primary parasitaemia is predominantly through the action of cytokines rather than Ab, and that final clearance requires helper cells and specific immunoglobulin.
