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 CD4 glycoprotein, expressed on leukocytes belonging to subsets of T lymphocytes and to cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage, participates in the functioning of T cells and serves as a receptor for HIV-1 and HIV-2. Human eosinophils, a class of granulocytic leukocytes, have been found to express CD4. With anti-CD4 mAbs CD4 was demonstrable on eosinophils from both normal and eosinophilic donors. Eosinophils synthesized a 55-kD CD4 polypeptide immunoprecipitable with two anti-CD4 mAbs. Eosinophil CD4 bound HIV-1 gp120 as assessed by competition for anti-OKT4A, but not anti-OKT4, mAb binding. Eosinophils, normally rich in gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract tissues, increase in numbers in patients with metazoan parasitic infections. In these sites and diseases, CD4 expression by eosinophils may be pertinent to their immunologic functions and could make these cells susceptible to HIV infection.
