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

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) donor positive (D+) serostatus with acute rejection is associated with renal allograft loss, but the impact of recipient positive (R+) serostatus is unclear. In an allogeneic renal transplant model, antiviral natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cell memory responses in murine CMV (MCMV) D+/R+ transplants were compared to D-/R- and D+/R- transplants, with recipient infection varied by MCMV dose and strain. D+/R- transplants had high primary antiviral cytolytic (interferon-γ+) and cytotoxic (granzyme B+) NK responses, whereas NK memory responses were lower in D+/R+ recipients receiving a high primary MCMV dose. Despite MCMV immunity, D+/R+ recipients receiving a low MCMV dose showed primary-like high cytolytic and cytotoxic NK responses. D+/R+ transplants infected with different D/R strains had low cytolytic NK responses but high cytotoxic NK responses. NK memory also induced a novel TNF-α+ NK response among high-dose virus recipients. MCMV+ transplants had greater Th17 responses than MCMV-uninfected transplants and Th17 inhibition ameliorated graft injury. All MCMV+ recipients had similar CD8+ T cell responses. In sum, NK and Th17 responses, but not CD8+ T cells, varied according to conditions of primary recipient infection. This variability could contribute to variable graft outcomes in HCMV D+/R+ renal transplantation.
