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

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)'s tremendous sequence variability is a major obstacle for the development of cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte-based vaccines, especially since much of this variability is selected for by CD8(+) T cells. We investigated to what extent reactivity to escape variant peptides in standard enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays predicts the recognition of cells infected with corresponding escape variant viruses. Most of the variant peptides tested were recognized in standard ELISPOT and intracellular cytokine stain (ICS) assays. Functional avidity of epitope-specific T cells for some of the variants was, however, markedly reduced. These mutations which reduced avidity also abrogated recognition by epitope-specific CD8(+) T cells in a viral suppression assay. Our results indicate that "cross-reactive" CD8(+) T-cell responses identified in ELISPOT and ICS assays using a single high concentration of variant peptide often fail to predict the recognition of cells infected with variant viruses.
