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

The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common cause of bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the United States and the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Transfer of cultured Chlamydia-specific CD8(+) T cells or vaccination with recombinant virus expressing an MHC I-restricted Chlamydia Ag confers protection, yet surprisingly a protective CD8(+) T cell response is not stimulated following natural infection. In this study, we demonstrate that the presence of excess IL-12 and IFN-γ contributes to poor memory CD8(+) T cell development during C. trachomatis infection of mice. IL-12 is required for CD8(+) T cell expansion but drives effector CD8(+) T cells into a short-lived fate, whereas IFN-γ signaling impairs the development of effector memory cells. We show that transient blockade of IL-12 and IFN-γ during priming promotes the development of memory precursor effector CD8(+) T cells and increases the number of memory T cells that participate in the recall protection against subsequent infection. Overall, this study identifies key factors shaping memory development of Chlamydia-specific CD8(+) T cells that will inform future vaccine development against this and other pathogens.
