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

Collagen exposure in tissue activates platelets, initiates wound healing, and modulates adaptive immunity. In this report, data are presented to demonstrate a requirement for platelet-derived CD154 for both collagen-induced augmentation of T-cell immunity and induction of pro-tective immunity to Listeria challenge. Specifically, we demonstrate that Ad5 encoding the membrane-bound form of ovalbumin (Ad5-mOVA) delivered in collagen induces higher ovalbumin-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity in a dose-dependent manner compared with Ad5-mOVA delivered in PBS. Increased CTL activity was dependent on the ability of platelets to respond to collagen and to express CD154. Furthermore, mice immunized with low-dose Ad5-mOVA in collagen were able to control a challenge of Listeria monocytogenes recombinant for ovalbumin expression (Lm-OVA), whereas mice immunized with low-dose Ad5-mOVA in PBS were not. These data indicate that in a physiologic setting that mimics wounding, platelets perform a sentinel function when antigen dose is too low to provoke an efficient immune response, and can enhance the generation of antigen-specific CD8 T cells that are functionally relevant to the host.
