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

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) is a slowly progressing malignancy of CD5(+) B cells, for which at present no curative treatment is available. In our current study, we apply a novel bridging reagent to redirect cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) to target B-CLL. A streptavidin-fused anti-CD20 single-chain variable fragment (scFv) is used in combination with biotinylated MHC class I molecules containing CMV pp65 peptide (HLA/CMV). We demonstrate that B-CLL cells coated with this CD20-HLA/CMV complex can be lysed by autologous CMV-specific CTL with similar efficiency as B-CLL cells directly loaded with CMV peptide. Killing is HLA restricted and occurs at scFv CD20 concentrations of >/=100 ng ml(-1) and HLA/CMV concentrations of >/=20 ng ml(-1). Furthermore, complex-coated B-CLL cells induce both proliferation and cytokine production (interferon gamma, tumour necrosis factor alpha and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta) in CMV-specific CD8(+) T cells. Hereby, a necessary step towards possible application of CD20-HLA/CMV complexes for immunotherapy of B-cell malignancies is constituted.
