Tolerance in the absence of autoantigen.
Review in Endocrine, metabolic & immune disorders drug targets, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Regulatory T (T(reg)) cells show promise for treating autoimmune diseases, but their induction to elevated potency has been problematic when the most optimally derived cells are from diseased animals. To circumvent reliance on auto-antigen reactive T(reg) cells, stimulation to vaccine antigens (Ags) may offer a viable alternative while maintaining potency to protect against proinflammatory diseases. Our Salmonella vaccine expressing colonization factor Ag I (CFA/I) possesses anti-inflammatory properties, evident by elevated Th2 cell responses, reduced inflammatory cell infiltrates in the Peyer's patches, and an absence of proinflammatory cytokine production by infected macrophages. Given these findings, we hypothesized whether this vaccine would be protective against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). As such, Salmonella-CFA/I protected in both prophylactic and therapeutic paradigms against proteolipid protein (PLP(139-151))-mediated EAE in SJL mice. The protected mice showed significantly reduced clinical disease and subsequent resolution when compared to PBS-treated controls. Histopathological studies showed reduced demyelination and no inflammation of spinal cords when compared to PBS- or Salmonella vector-treated mice. To ascertain whether the observed immune deviation was in part supported by T(reg) cells, analysis revealed involvement of FoxP3(+) CD25(+) CD4(+) T cells. Adoptive transfer of induced TGF-beta (+) T(reg) cells from vaccinated mice showed complete protection against PLP(139-151) challenge, but not by naive T(reg) cells. Partial protection to EAE was also achieved by the adoptive transfer of CD25(-) CD4(+) T cells, suggesting that Th2 cells also contributed. Thus, these data show that T(reg) cells are induced by oral vaccination with Salmonella-CFA/I contributing to the efficacious treatment of autoimmune disease.
