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

Pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) are a commonly studied primate model of human AIDS. The Mane-A1*084:01 MHC class I allele (previously named Mane-A*10) is important for the control of SIV infection by CD8+ T cells in this model. Validated methods to detect this allele in large numbers of macaques are lacking. We studied this MHC allele using sequence-specific PCRs in 217 pig-tailed macaques and identified 75 (35%) positive animals. We then performed massively parallel pyrosequencing with a universal 568-bp MHC class I cDNA-PCR amplicon for 50 of these 75 macaques. All 50 animals expressed Mane-A1*084:01 or closely related variants of the Mane-A1*084 lineage. Mane-A1*084 transcripts accounted for an average of 20.9% of all class I sequences identified per animal. SIV infection of a subset of these macaques resulted in the induction of SIV-specific CD8+ T cell responses detected by Mane-A1*084:01 tetramers. An average of 19 distinct class I transcripts were identified per animal by pyrosequencing. This analysis revealed 89 new Mane class I sequences as well as 32 previously described sequences that were extended with the longer amplicons employed in the current study. In addition, multiple Mane class I haplotypes that had been inferred previously based on shared transcript profiles between unrelated animals were confirmed for a subset of animals where pedigree information was available. We conclude that sequence-specific PCR is useful to screen pig-tailed macaques for Mane-A1*084:01, although pyrosequencing permits a much broader identification of the repertoire of MHC class I sequences and haplotypes expressed by individual animals.
