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

Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) is a major cause of viral skin infection in humans. Klenner and colleagues now show that the epidermal receptor activator of NFκB ligand (RANKL) is critical for the induction of anti-viral CD8(+) effector T cells (CTL) during cutaneous HSV-1 infection. Activation via RANKL prevents Langerhans cell apoptosis, thus leading to enhanced antigen transport to regional lymph nodes, increasing the CTL-priming capacity of lymph node dendritic cells.
