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

CD8(+) T cells are likely to play an important role in host defense against Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi by several effector mechanisms, including lysis of infected cells (cytotoxicity) and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) secretion. In an effort to better understand these responses, we studied the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of serovar Typhi-specific CD8(+) T cells in humans. To this end, we determined the TCR beta chain (Vbeta) usage of CD8(+) T cells from three volunteers orally immunized with Ty21a typhoid vaccine by flow cytometry using a panel of monoclonal antibodies. Although TCR Vbeta usage varied among volunteers, we identified oligoclonal Vbeta subset expansions in individual volunteers (Vbeta 2, 5.1, 8, 17, and 22 in volunteer 1; Vbeta 1, 2, 5.1, 14, 17, and 22 in volunteer 2; and Vbeta 3, 8, 14, and 16 in volunteer 3). These subsets were antigen specific, as shown by cytotoxicity and IFN-gamma secretion assays on Vbeta sorted cells and on T-cell clones derived from these volunteers. Moreover, eight-color flow cytometric analysis showed that these clones exhibited a T effector memory phenotype (i.e., CCR7(-) CD27(-) CD45RO(+) CD62L(-)) and coexpressed gut homing molecules (e.g., high levels of integrin alpha4beta7, intermediate levels of CCR9, and low levels of CD103). In conclusion, our results show that long-term T-cell responses to serovar Typhi in Ty21a vaccinees are oligoclonal, involving multiple TCR Vbeta families. Moreover, these serovar Typhi-specific CD8(+) T cells bearing defined Vbeta specificities are phenotypically and functionally consistent with T effector memory cells with preferential gut homing potential.
