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

backgroundBlockade of T cell costimulatory molecules represents a promising new method of attenuating donor-reactive T cell responses to promote graft survival following transplantation. However, recent studies in murine models have shown the presence of an initial high frequency of naïve donor-reactive T cells may render this strategy ineffective.

methodsIn this report, we examined the phenotypic changes associated with CD28 blockade on T cells stimulated at increasing precursor frequencies in vitro.

resultsWe found that treatment with the CD28 blocker CTLA-4 Ig resulted in downregulation of the alpha chain of the IL-2 receptor (CD25) in a division-dependent manner. Significantly, blockade of the CD28 pathway was more effective in down-regulating CD25 when the donor-reactive T cell population was present at low as compared to high precursor frequency.

conclusionsThese results imply that treatment with CD28 blockers and anti-CD25 mAbs may cooperate in promoting graft survival under conditions of low MHC matching where the donor-reactive T cell precursor frequency is high.
