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

There is an urgent need to develop novel therapies for controlling recurrent virus infections in immune suppressed patients. Disease associated with persistent gamma-herpesvirus infection (EBV, HHV-8) is a significant problem in AIDS patients and transplant recipients, and clinical management of these conditions is difficult. Disease occurs because of a failure in immune surveillance to control the persistent infection, which arises in AIDS patients principally because of an erosion of the CD4(+) T cell compartment. Immune surveillance failure followed by gamma-herpesvirus recrudescence can be modeled using murine gamma-herpesvirus in CD4 T cell-depleted mice. We show that enhancement of IL-2 signaling using IL-2/anti-IL-2 immune complexes substantially improves immune surveillance in the context of suppressed immunity and enhances control of the infection. This effect was not due solely to increased numbers of virus-specific CD8 T cells but rather to enhanced cytotoxicity mediated by the perforin-granzyme pathway.
