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

The impact of naïve-precursor frequency on human virus-specific CD8(+) T cell immunodominance is not well understood. Using a recently developed major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I tetramer enrichment protocol, we found a conserved hierarchy and a >10-fold difference in naïve-precursor frequencies across three HLA-A2-restricted hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific epitopes. Importantly, the NS3(1406) epitope with the highest naïve-precursor frequency in healthy donors was also the most frequently targeted epitope in a large cohort of chronically HCV-infected patients, both ex vivo and after in vitro stimulation. These results indicate for the first time that immunodominance in a human viral infection is linked to naïve-precursor frequency.
