Review in Clinical & translational immunology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Stem memory T cells (TSCM) have been described in mice, non-human primates and in humans, constituting approximately 2-4% of the total CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell population in the periphery. TSCM represent the earliest and long-lasting developmental stage of memory T cells, displaying stem cell-like properties, and exhibiting a gene profile between naïve and central memory T cells. Their self-renewal capacity and long-term survival has sparked interest in the cancer and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) fields. How and when the formation of TSCM occurs during the immune response to pathogens and the therapeutic potential of these cells are currently being investigated. This review will explore the potential role of TSCM to be used as, or targeted by, immunotherapies and vaccines for treatment of cancer and HIV.
