Efficient induction of T helper type 1-mediated immune responses in antigen-primed mice by anti-CD3 single-chain Fv/interleukin-18 fusion DNA.
Article in Immunology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Two types of T helper (Th) cells - Th1 and Th2 - play different roles in protection and immunopathology. The Th1 cell-mediated immune response plays an important role in inducing the host defence against intracellular bacteria and also in cancer immunotherapy. To effectively induce Th1 immune responses, we constructed a mammalian expression plasmid (pAnti-CD3sFv/IL-18) carrying a fusion gene in which anti-CD3 single-chain Fv (sFv) cDNA, the smallest unit of antibody recognizing the CD3 epsilon moiety of the T-cell receptor, was covalently linked to mature interleukin (IL)-18 cDNA. Intramuscular injection of ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized BALB/c mice with pAnti-CD3sFv/IL-18 DNA efficiently increased the production of both OVA-specific interferon-gamma and anti-OVA immunoglobulin G2a, compared to injection with pAnti-CD3sFv DNA. In addition, pAnti-CD3sFv/IL-18 was more efficient than a mixture of pAnti-CD3sFv + pIL-18 in inducing OVA-specific, Th1 immune responses and also in inhibiting OVA-specific, IL-4 production. These studies indicate that vaccination with pAnti-CD3sFv/IL-18 fusion DNA efficiently induces the Th1 immune response in antigen-sensitized mice.
