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

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a potentially immunosuppressive CD4(+)-T-lymphotropic betaherpesvirus that causes severe human thymocyte depletion in heterochimeric SCID-hu thy/liv mice and has been implicated as a potential cofactor in the progression of AIDS. However, the mechanisms of HHV-6-mediated immunosuppression have not yet been fully elucidated. We investigated the phenotypic and functional alterations induced by HHV-6 on peripheral blood-derived human dendritic cells (DC). The infection of DC with HHV-6 A or B was nonproductive, as revealed by calibrated real-time PCR measuring the accumulation of viral genome equivalents over time. Nevertheless, preexposure to HHV-6 markedly impaired the maturation of DC driven by gamma interferon and lipopolysaccharide, as shown by the reduced surface expression of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules, HLA-DR, CD40, and CD80. Moreover, HHV-6, but not the closely related betaherpesvirus HHV-7, dramatically suppressed the secretion of interleukin-12 (IL-12) p70 by DC, while the production of other cytokines that influence DC maturation, i.e., IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor alpha, was not significantly modified. Likewise, the secretion of the CC chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein 1beta and RANTES was unaltered. Functionally, a pretreatment with HHV-6 impaired the ability of DC to stimulate allogeneic T-cell proliferation. Altogether, these data identify interference with the functional maturation of DC as a potential mechanism of HHV-6-mediated immunosuppression.
