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

Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV)-induced immune-mediated demyelinating disease in susceptible mouse strains has been extensively investigated as a relevant model for human multiple sclerosis. Previous investigations of antiviral T-cell responses focus on immune responses to viral capsid proteins, while virtually nothing is reported on immune responses to nonstructural proteins. In this study, we have identified noncapsid regions recognized by CD4(+) T cells from TMEV-infected mice using an overlapping peptide library. Interestingly, a greater number of CD4(+) T cells recognizing an epitope (3D(21-36)) of the 3D viral RNA polymerase, in contrast to capsid epitopes, were detected in the CNS of TMEV-infected SJL mice, whereas only a minor population of CD4(+) T cells from infected C57BL/6 mice recognized this region. The effects of preimmunization and tolerization with these epitopes on the development of demyelinating disease indicated that capsid-specific CD4(+) T cells are protective during the early stages of viral infection, whereas 3D(21-36)-specific CD4(+) T cells exacerbate disease development. Therefore, protective versus pathogenic CD4(+) T-cell responses directed to TMEV appear to be epitope dependent, and the differences in CD4(+) T-cell responses to these epitopes between susceptible and resistant mice may play an important role in the resistance or susceptibility to virally induced demyelinating disease.
