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

The present study set out to examine the nature and specificity of the bovine CD8 T cell response at the clonal level in a group of eight animals immunized with a cloned population of Theileria annulata. The results demonstrated that immunized animals generated parasite-specific CD8 T cells that produced IFN in response to parasite stimulation but had highly variable levels of cytotoxicity for parasitized cells. The study also demonstrated that these parasite-specific CD8 T cells could be propagated and cloned in vitro from the memory T cell pool of cattle immunized with live T. annulata parasites. Within the small group of animals studied, there was evidence that responses were preferentially directed to antigens presented by an A10+ class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotype, suggesting that responses restricted by products of this haplotype may be dominant. The A10-restricted responses showed differential recognition of different parasite isolates and clones. By using a cloned population of parasites both for immunization of the animals and for in vitro analyses of the responses, we obtained unambiguous evidence that at least a proportion of CD8 T cells restricted by one MHC haplotype were parasite strain restricted.
