Identification of varicella-zoster virus-specific CD8 T cells in patients after T-cell-depleted allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
Article in Journal of virology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
To study the role of CD8 T cells in the control of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation, we developed multimeric major histocompatibility complexes to identify VZV-specific CD8 T cells. Potential HLA-A2 binding peptides from the putative immediate-early 62 protein (IE62) of VZV were tested for binding, and peptides with sufficient binding capacity were used to generate pentamers. Patients with VZV reactivation following stem cell transplantation were screened with these pentamers, leading to the identification of the first validated class I-restricted epitope of VZV. In 42% of HLA-A2 patients following VZV reactivation, these IE62-ALW-A2 T cells could be detected ex vivo.
