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

Regardless of the dose of Ag, Ag presentation occurs rapidly within the first few days which results in rapid expansion of the CD8+ T cell response that peaks at day 7. However, we have previously shown that this rapid priming of CD8+ T cells is absent during infection of mice with Mycobacterium bovis (bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)). In this study, we have evaluated the mechanisms responsible for the delayed CD8+ T cell priming. Because BCG replicates poorly and survives within phagosomes we considered whether 1) generation of reduced amounts of Ag or 2) weaker activation by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) during BCG infection is responsible for the delay in CD8+ T cell priming. Using rOVA-expressing bacteria, our results indicate that infection of mice with BCG-OVA generates greatly reduced levels of OVA, which are 70-fold lower in comparison to the levels generated during infection of mice with Listeria monocytogenes-expressing OVA. Furthermore, increasing the dose of OVA, but not PAMP signaling during BCG-OVA infection resulted in rapid Ag presentation and consequent expansion of the CD8+ T cell response, indicating that the generation of reduced Ag levels, not lack of PAMP-associated inflammation, was responsible for delayed priming of CD8+ T cells. There was a strong correlation between the relative timing of Ag presentation and the increase in the level of OVA in vivo. Taken together, these results reveal that some slowly replicating pathogens, such as mycobacteria, may facilitate their chronicity by generating reduced Ag levels which causes a substantial delay in the development of acquired immune responses.
