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

CD8 memory T cells are tightly regulated in young, healthy individuals but are often perturbed in aged animals by the appearance of large CD8 T cell clones. These clones are associated with impaired immunity in the aged. The molecular basis of this phenomenon remains unclear. Here, it is shown that the issue is confused by the fact that the clones are heterogeneous. Some clones bear high, and others, low levels of integrin alpha(4) (itgalpha4). These subtypes differ by multiple criteria. They appear in mice of different ages, concentrate in different tissues, and have different stabilities in vivo and responses to stimulation in vitro. itgalpha4(high), but not itgalpha4(low), CD8 clonal expansions have several characteristics consistent with a chronically stimulated phenotype. These properties include lowered levels of CD8, decreased expression of some cytokine receptors, and elevated expression of various inhibitory receptors, including the programmed death-1 (PD1) receptor and the killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1). The characteristics of itgalpha4(high) clonal expansions suggest that they may arise from age-dependent alterations in antigen expression and tolerance. These data redefine CD8 clonal expansions into at least two distinct entities and indicate that there are multiple mechanisms that drive age-related alterations of CD8 T cell homeostasis.
