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

Successful human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccines will need to induce effective T-cell immunity. We studied immunodominant simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) Gag-specific T-cell responses and their restricting major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I alleles in pigtail macaques (Macaca nemestrina), an increasingly common primate model for the study of HIV infection of humans. CD8+ T-cell responses to an SIV epitope, Gag164-172KP9, were present in at least 15 of 36 outbred pigtail macaques. The immunodominant KP9-specific response accounted for the majority (mean, 63%) of the SIV Gag response. Sequencing from six macaques identified 7 new Mane-A and 13 new Mane-B MHC class I alleles. One new allele, Mane-A*10, was common to four macaques that responded to the KP9 epitope. We adapted reference strand-mediated conformational analysis (RSCA) to MHC class I genotype M. nemestrina. Mane-A*10 was detected in macaques presenting KP9 studied by RSCA but was absent from non-KP9-presenting macaques. Expressed on class I-deficient cells, Mane-A*10, but not other pigtail macaque MHC class I molecules, efficiently presented KP9 to responder T cells, confirming that Mane-A*10 restricts the KP9 epitope. Importantly, naive pigtail macaques infected with SIVmac251 that respond to KP9 had significantly reduced plasma SIV viral levels (log10 0.87 copies/ml; P=0.025) compared to those of macaques not responding to KP9. The identification of this common M. nemestrina MHC class I allele restricting a functionally important immunodominant SIV Gag epitope establishes a basis for studying CD8+ T-cell responses against AIDS in an important, widely available nonhuman primate species.
