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

Regulatory T cells (T(reg)) play key roles in immune regulation through multiple modes of suppression. The effects of HIV-1 infection on T(reg) levels in lymphoid tissues remain incompletely understood. To explore this issue, we have measured the levels of forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3)-positive cells and associated immunomodulatory genes in a pathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus/macaque model and found that a loss of T(reg) in lymph nodes occurred following simian immunodeficiency virus infection. Changes in expression of the ligands for CXCR3, CCR4, and CCR7 and the cytokines TGF-beta and IL-2 were all linked to this loss of T(reg), which in turn was linked with increased levels of cellular activation. Our findings identify three mechanisms that likely contribute to SIV-driven loss of T(reg), including reduced levels of cytokines associated with T(reg) differentiation and altered expression of agonist and antagonist chemokines. The loss of T(reg) and the associated cellular activation in lymphoid tissues is consistent with the events in HIV-1-infected individuals and suggest that components of the T(reg) differentiation and trafficking network could be targets for therapeutic intervention.
