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

Myasthenia gravis (MG) and experimental autoimmune MG are T cell-dependent antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. A dual altered peptide ligand (APL), composed of the tandemly arranged two single amino acid analogs of two myasthenogenic peptides, p195-212 and p259-271, down-regulated in vitro and in vivo MG-associated T cell responses. In the present study, we investigated the role of CD8(+)CD28(-) regulatory cells in the mechanism of action of the dual APL. We demonstrated that treatment of mice with the dual APL concomitant with immunization with a myasthenogenic peptide resulted in an increased population of CD8(+)CD28(-) cells that express forkhead box P3 (Foxp3). The dual APL inhibited the proliferation of lymph node (LN) cells of the Torpedo acetylcholine receptor-immunized WT C57BL/6 mice, whereas the inhibition was abrogated in CD8(-/-) knockout mice. Moreover, the dual APL did not inhibit the secretion of IFN-gamma by LN cells from CD8(-/-) mice immunized with Torpedo acetylcholine receptor. However, the mRNA expression of IL-10 and TGF-beta by LN cells from CD8(-/-) mice was up-regulated similarly to that of the WT mice. Furthermore, the dual APL elevated the proapoptotic markers caspases 3 and caspase 8, whereas it down-regulated the antiapoptotic marker Bcl-xL in both CD8(-/-) and WT mice. Finally, the dual APL-induced CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) cells were up-regulated in CD8(-/-) mice to a similar extent to that observed in the WT mice. Thus, we suggest that CD8(+)CD28(-) regulatory cells play a partial role in the mechanism of action by which the dual APL suppresses experimental autoimmune MG-associated T cell responses.
