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

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 epidemics are a significant public health hazard. Genetically engineered H5N1 viruses with mammalian transmission activity highlight the potential risk of a human influenza H5N1 pandemic. Understanding the underlying principles of the innate immune system in response to influenza H5N1 viruses will lead to improved prevention and control of these potentially deadly viruses. γδ T cells act as the first line of defense against microbial infection and help initiate adaptive immune responses during the early stages of viral infection. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of γδ T cells in response to influenza H5N1 viral infection. We found that recombinant hemagglutinin (rHA) derived from three different strains of influenza H5N1 viruses elicited the activation of γδ T cells cultured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Both the cell surface expression of CD69, an early activation marker on γδ T cells, and the production of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were significantly increased. Notably, the rHA protein-induced γδ T-cell activation was not mediated by TCRγδ, NKG2D or pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) or NKp46 receptors. The interaction of rHA proteins with sialic acid receptors may play a critical role in γδ T-cell activation. Our data may provide insight into the mechanisms underlying γδ T-cell activation in response to infection with H5N1 viruses.
