A Class II-Restricted CD8γ13 T-Cell Clone Protects During Chlamydia muridarum Genital Tract Infection.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe T-cell response to chlamydia genital tract infections in humans and mice is unusual because the majority of antigen-specific CD8 T cells are not class I restricted (referred to here as "unrestricted" or "atypical"). We previously reported that a subset of unrestricted murine chlamydia-specific CD8 T cells had a cytokine polarization pattern that included interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-13.
methodsIn this study, we investigated the transcriptome of CD8γ13 T cells, comparing them to Tc1 clones using microarray analysis. That study revealed that CD8γ13 polarization included IL-5 in addition to IFN-γ and IL-13. Adoptive transfer studies were performed with Tc1 clones and a CD8γ13 T-cell clone to determine whether either influenced bacterial clearance or immunopathology during Chlamydia muridarum genital tract infections.
resultsTo our surprise, an adoptively transferred CD8γ13 T-cell clone was remarkably proficient at preventing chlamydia immunopathology, whereas the multifunctional Tc1 clone did not enhance clearance or significantly alter immunopathology. Mapping studies with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I- and class II-deficient splenocytes showed our previously published chlamydia-specific CD8 T-cell clones are MHC class II restricted.
conclusionsThe MHC class II-restricted CD8 T cells may play an important role in protection from intracellular pathogens that limit class I antigen presentation or diminish CD4 T-cell numbers or impair their function.
