Suppression of major histocompatibility complex class II-associated invariant chain enhances the potency of an HIV gp120 DNA vaccine.
Article in Immunology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Summary One function of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-associated invariant chain (Ii) is to prevent MHC class II molecules from binding endogenously generated antigenic epitopes. Ii inhibition leads to MHC class II presentation of endogenous antigens by APC without interrupting MHC class I presentation. We present data that in vivo immunization of BALB/c mice with HIV gp120 cDNA plus an Ii suppressive construct significantly enhances the activation of both gp120-specific T helper (Th) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Our results support the concept that MHC class II-positive/Ii-negative (class II(+)/Ii(-)) antigen-presenting cells (APC) present endogenously synthesized vaccine antigens simultaneously by MHC class II and class I molecules, activating both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. Activated CD4(+) T cells locally strengthen the response of CD8(+) CTL, thus enhancing the potency of a DNA vaccine.
