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

Studies of costimulatory receptors belonging to the TNFR family have revealed their diverse roles in affecting different stages of the T cell response. The 4-1BB ligand (4-1BBL)/4-1BB pathway has emerged as a receptor-ligand pair that impacts not the initial priming, but later phases of the T cell response, such as sustaining clonal expansion and survival, maintaining memory CD8(+) T cells, and supporting secondary expansion upon Ag challenge. Although the role of this costimulatory pathway in CD8(+) T cell responses to acute viral infections has been well-studied, its role in controlling chronic viral infections in vivo is not known to date. Using the murine gammaherpesvirus-68 (MHV-68) model, we show that 4-1BBL-deficient mice lack control of MHV-68 during latency and show significantly increased latent viral loads. In contrast to acute influenza infection, the numbers of MHV-68-specific memory CD8(+) T cells were maintained during latency. However, the virus-specific CD8(+) T cells showed defects in function, including decreased cytolytic function and impaired secondary expansion. Thus, 4-1BBL deficiency significantly affects the function, but not the number, of virus-specific CD8(+) T cells during gammaherpesvirus latency, and its absence results in an increased viral burden. Our study suggests that the 4-1BB costimulatory pathway plays an important role in controlling chronic viral infections.
