CD40 is required for protective immunity against liver stage Plasmodium infection.
Article in Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
The costimulatory molecule CD40 enhances immunity through several distinct roles in T cell activation and T cell interaction with other immune cells. In a mouse model of immunity to liver stage Plasmodium infection, CD40 was critical for the full maturation of liver dendritic cells, accumulation of CD8(+) T cells in the liver, and protective immunity induced by immunization with the Plasmodium yoelii fabb/f(-) genetically attenuated parasite. Using mixed adoptive transfers of polyclonal wild-type and CD40-deficient CD8(+) T cells into wild-type and CD40-deficient hosts, we evaluated the contributions to CD8(+) T cell immunity of CD40 expressed on host tissues including APC, compared with CD40 expressed on the CD8(+) T cells themselves. Most of the effects of CD40 could be accounted for by expression in the T cells' environment, including the accumulation of large numbers of CD8(+) T cells in the livers of immunized mice. Thus, protective immunity generated during immunization with fabb/f(-) was largely dependent on effective APC licensing via CD40 signaling.
