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

Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells respond to pyrophosphate antigens and display potent antitumour activity in vitro. We have investigated the potential of the most potent phosphoantigen known to activate Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells, (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2 enyl pyrophosphate (HMB-PP), as an adjuvant for dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines. A single stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with HMB-PP and IL-2 was sufficient to generate lines of effector memory Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells that retained their cytolytic and cytokine secretion activities. These cells induced differentiation of DC into semi-mature antigen-presenting cells expressing CD86, CD11c, CD54, HLA-DR, CD83 and CD40, which secreted low levels of bioactive IL-12 but no IL-10. Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells also strongly costimulated IL-12 release but inhibited IL-10 production by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated DC. When substituted for Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells, IFN-gamma did not induce full DC maturation but it augmented IL-12 and inhibited IL-10 release by LPS-stimulated DC, in a manner similar to HMB-PP-activated Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells. Our findings indicate that Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells, stimulated with nanomolar concentrations of HMB-PP, strongly promote T helper type 1 (Th1) responses through their ability to induce DC maturation and IL-12 secretion. This adjuvant activity may prove useful in DC-based cancer therapies.
