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

The most common models of CD4 T-cell deficiency are mice exogenously injected with anti-CD4 antibody (Ab), CD4 knockout (CD4-/-) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II knockout (class II-/-) mice. We recently described the anti-CD4 Ab transgenic mouse (GK) as an improved CD4 cell-deficient model. This review compares this new GK mouse model with the widely available class II-/- and CD4-/- mice, when exposed to complex antigens (foreign grafts and during bacterial or viral infection). We highlight here the cytometric and functional differences (including Ab isotype, viral or bacterial clearance, and graft survival) among these CD4 cell-deficient models. For example, whereas grafts are generally rejected in class II-/- and CD4-/- mice as quickly as in wild-type mice, they survive longer in GK mice. Also, CD4-/- mice produce IgG against both simple model and complex antigens, but class II-/- and GK mice produce small amounts of IgG2a against complex antigens but not simple model antigens. These differences harbinger the caveats in the use of these various mice.
