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

Immunosuppression is the major cause of infant death associated with acute measles. Hallmarks of this generalized modulation of immune functions include: (1) lymphopenia, (2) a prolonged cytokine imbalance consistent with suppression of cellular immunity to secondary infections and (3) silencing of peripheral blood lymphocytes that fail to expand in response to ex vivo stimulation. Lymphopenia results from depletion of T cells by mechanisms also involving MV infection, and expression of the major MV receptor CD150 plays an important role for targeting these cells. Virus transfer to T cells is thought to be mediated by dendritic cells (DCs), which are considered as central to the induction of T-cell silencing and functional skewing. MV interaction modulates functional differentiation of DCs, and thereby expression pattern of costimulatory molecules and soluble mediators. Moreover, MV proteins expressed by these cells actively silence T cells by interfering with signaling pathways essential for T-cell activation. As an essential component of this interference, the MV glycoprotein complex activates cellular sphingomyelinases in a contact-dependent manner, and these are effective at preventing stimulated rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton and thereby morphological and functional polarization and motility of T cells.
