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

Repeated exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) does not always result in HIV infection, and several cohorts of HIV-exposed but uninfected (EU) individuals have been described. We studied T-helper and granule-dependent cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activities in a group of 30 EU partners of HIV type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals. HIV-1-specific helper-T-cell activity was studied by measuring the levels of interleukin 2 (IL-2) produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and the granule-dependent CTL activity by measuring the intracellular levels of perforin and granzyme B expression in CD8+ T cells after stimulation with gag p24 antigen. Elevated IL-2 production by PBMCs after p24 stimulation occurred in EU individuals. The levels of perforin and granzyme B expression in CD8+ T cells were also higher among EU individuals than among healthy controls. HIV-specific helper-T-cell and granule-dependent CTL activities inversely correlated with the time since the last unprotected sexual exposure in these individuals. In our cohort, activation of T-helper and granule-dependent CTL activities against HIV might be due to unprotected sexual contact. These results indicate that HIV-1-specific T-cell responses could play a role in protection against acquiring infection in this cohort of EU individuals.
