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

Cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) are an important component of adaptive immunity. The study of antigen-specific CTLs in vivo is desirable yet difficult. Identification of the class I-restricted peptide used by CTLs for target recognition is often required for detailed studies, but is generally not known for most antigens. Toxoplasma gondii is a medically important, obligate intracellular parasite and is often used as a model for studies of parasite immunology. No class I-restricted peptides for CTLs are known. We show here a new and convenient method to detect T. gondii-specific CTLs in vivo. We engineered T. gondii tachyzoites to express the model antigen ovalbumin, for which many useful reagents and transgenic mice are available. Using ovalbumin-transgenic T. gondii tachyzoites, antigen-specific CTLs were detected in vivo, and at much earlier time points post-infection than previously reported. This new method has several additional advantages over current methods to detect T. gondii-specific CTLs.
