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

Both innate and adaptive immunity play an important role in host resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Although several studies have suggested that the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotype affects susceptibility to infection, it remains unclear whether the modulation of T-cell immunity by the MHC locus determines the host's susceptibility to tuberculosis. To determine whether allelic differences in the MHC locus affect the T-cell immune response after M. tuberculosis infection, we infected inbred and H-2 congenic mouse strains by the respiratory route. The H-2 locus has a profound effect on the antigen-specific CD4+-T-cell response after M. tuberculosis infection. CD4+ T cells from infected mice of the H-2(b) haplotype produced more gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) after in vitro stimulation with mycobacterial antigens than mice of the H-2(k) haplotype. A higher level of IFN-gamma was also detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from infected mice of the H-2(b) haplotype. Furthermore, C3.SW-H2(b)/SnJ mice generate and recruit activated T cells to the lung after infection. Despite a robust immune response, C3.SW-H2(b)/SnJ mice succumbed to infection early and were similarly susceptible to infection as other C3H (H-2(k)) substrains. These results suggest that although the MHC haplotype has a profound impact on the T-cell recognition of M. tuberculosis antigens, the susceptibility of C3H mice to infection is MHC independent.
