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

objectiveTo investigate immune responses of peptide-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and nonpeptide-specific Vgamma2Vdelta2+ T cells during clinical quiescence of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis coinfection in HIV-1-infected humans.

methodsOne hundred HIV-1-infected individuals who had HIV infection only [HIV+tuberculosis-(TB-)], latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis coinfection (HIV + LTB), or active tuberculosis (HIV + TB) were recruited to measure mycobacterium purified protein derivative (PPD)-specific IFNgamma+ CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and phosphoantigen HMBPP-specific IFNgamma+ Vgamma2Vdelta2+ T cells using enzyme-linked immunospot and intracellular cytokine staining assays.

resultsBoth HIV + TB and HIV + LTB groups had low levels of PPD-specific IFNgamma+ CD4+ T cells regardless of CD4+ peripheral blood lymphocytes counts. However, numbers of PPD-specific IFNgamma+ CD8+ T cells in the HIV + LTB group were significantly greater than those in the HIV + TB group. Surprisingly, numbers of phosphoantigen hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate-specific IFNgamma+ Vgamma2Vdelta2+ T cells in the HIV + LTB group were much greater than those in the HIV + TB group (P < 0.001). This difference was present in the subgroups of HIV + LTB whatever the levels of CD4+ T-cell counts more than 200/microl or less than 200/microl. Numbers of hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate-specific IFNgamma+ Vgamma2Vdelta2+ T cells were even five times greater than those of PPD-specific IFNgamma+ CD8 T cells within the HIV + LTB group.

conclusionPotent immune responses of hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate-specific IFNgamma+ Vgamma2Vdelta2+ T cells and PPD-specific IFNgamma+ CD8+ T cells were detected in HIV + LTB persons but not HIV + TB patients. The robust immune responses of Vgamma2Vdelta2+ and CD8+ T effector cells were associated with the latent stage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis coinfection in HIV-1-infected humans.
