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

CD8⁺ T cell responses can be generated by direct or cross-priming mechanisms, and several mouse models have been used to reveal which of these is the most important pathway for various viruses. Among these models is systemic treatment of mice with a CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG) to mature all dendritic cells (DCs), rendering them incapable of cross-presentation. A second is the use of cytochrome c (cytc) as a selective poison of the subsets of DCs able to cross-present antigen. In this study, using two vaccinia virus (VACV) strains, namely, WR and MVA, we found that the CpG and cytc methods gave conflicting data. Moreover, we show for both strains of VACV that treatment of mice with CpG and cytc inhibited CD8⁺ T cell responses to antigens designed to prime exclusively by direct presentation. Further investigation of the CpG method found that the extent to which priming is inhibited depends on the antigen examined, immunization route, replication ability of the virus, and, crucially, immunization dose. We suggest that greater caution is required when interpreting data using these methods and that priming pathways for antiviral CD8⁺ T cells are not simply separated according to DC subsets or their maturation state.
