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

Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) induces myocarditis, an inflammation of the myocardium, in C57Bl/6 male mice but not in mice lacking γδ+ T cells [γδ knockout (γδKO)]. Suppression of myocarditis in γδKO mice corresponds to an increase in CD4(+) CD25(+) FoxP3(+) T regulatory cells. A subpopulation of the T regulatory cells in infected γδKO mice expressed high levels of CD1d, a non-classical major histocompatibility complex class 1-like molecule. Adoptive transfer of CD1d(+) and CD1d(-) CD4(+) CD25(+) cells into infected C57Bl/6 recipients showed that the CD1d(+) subpopulation is substantially more suppressive than the CD1d(-) subpopulation. T cells expressing the γδ T-cell receptor comprised approximately 30-50% of the infiltrating lymphoid cells in the hearts of myocarditic C57Bl/6 mice and approximately half of the γδ+ cells expressed the Vγ4 T-cell receptor. The Vγ4+ cells lysed T regulatory cells from γδKO mice but not from wild-type (C57Bl/6) animals. Lysis was inhibited by antibody to CD1d and zVAD-fmk, a pan-caspase inhibitor. The Vγ4-γδ+ cells were not lytic to T regulatory cells and did not promote myocarditis. These results demonstrate that Vγ4+ cells selectively abrogate T regulatory cells through recognition of CD1d expressed on the regulatory cells and caspase-dependent apoptosis.
