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

Functional CD8 T cell effector and memory responses are generated and maintained during murine γ-herpesvirus 68 (γHV68) persistent infection despite continuous presentation of viral lytic Ags. However, the identity of the CD8 T cell subpopulations that mediate effective recall responses and that can participate in the generation of protective memory to a γ-herpesvirus infection remains unknown. During γHV68 persistence, ∼75% of γHV68-specific CD8 T cells coexpress the NK receptors killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) and NKG2A. In this study, we take advantage of this unique phenotype to analyze the capacity of CD8 T cells expressing or not expressing KLRG1 and NKG2A to mediate effector and memory responses. Our results show that γHV68-specific KLRG1(+)NKG2A(+) CD8 T cells have an effector memory phenotype as well as characteristics of polyfunctional effector cells such us IFN-γ and TNF-α production, killing capacity, and are more efficient at protecting against a γHV68 challenge than their NKG2A(-)KLRG1(-) counterparts. Nevertheless, γHV68-specific NKG2A(+)KLRG1(+) CD8 T cells express IL-7 and IL-15 receptors, can survive long-term without cognate Ag, and subsequently mount a protective response during antigenic recall. These results highlight the plasticity of the immune system to generate protective effector and proliferative memory responses during virus persistence from a pool of KLRG1(+)NKG2A(+) effector memory CD8 T cells.
