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

A major contributing factor to the final magnitude and breadth of CD8(+) T-cell responses to complex antigens is immunodomination, where CD8(+) T cells recognizing their cognate ligand inhibit the proliferation of other CD8(+) T cells engaged with the same APC. In this study, we examined how the half-life of cell surface peptide-MHC class I complexes influences this phenomenon. We found that primary CD8(+) T-cell responses to DNA vaccines in mice are shaped by competition among responding CD8(+) T cells for nonspecific stimuli early after activation and prior to cell division. The susceptibility of CD8(+) T cells to 'domination' was a direct correlate of higher kinetic stability of the competing CD8(+) T-cell cognate ligand. When high affinity competitive CD8(+) T cells were deleted by self-antigen expression, competition was abrogated. These findings show, for the first time to our knowledge, the existence of regulatory mechanisms that direct the responding CD8(+) T-cell repertoire toward epitopes with high-stability interactions with MHC class I molecules. They also provide an insight into factors that facilitate CD8(+) T-cell coexistence, with important implications for vaccine design and delivery.
