T-cell response to viral antigens in adults and children with common variable immunodeficiency and specific antibody deficiency.
Article in Clinical and experimental immunology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Several T cell abnormalities have been described in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), a B cell disorder of mainly unknown origin. A subset of CVID patients suffers from frequent reactivations of herpes viruses. We studied T cell function in CVID [and in a subset of paediatric patients with specific antibody deficiency (SAD)] by measuring T cell proliferation and cytokine production in response to herpes virus-antigens in paediatric CVID patients (n=9) and paediatric SAD patients (n=5), in adult CVID patients (n=14) and in healthy controls. Paediatric CVID patients, but not SAD patients, displayed moderately increased CD8+ T cell proliferation in response to cytomegalovirus, human herpes virus type 6B (HHV6-B) and herpes simplex virus compared to controls. CD8+ T cell responses in adult CVID patients tended to be increased in response to cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus. In response to stimulation with herpes virus antigens, the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interferon inducible protein (IP)-10 were produced. Overall, no major differences were detected in cytokine production upon stimulation between patients and controls, although higher IL-10 and IL-12 production was detected in paediatric patients. In conclusion, cellular immunity against herpes virus antigens appears undisturbed in CVID patients, although defects in subpopulations of CVID patients cannot be excluded.
