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

objectivesCellular immunity against BK polyomavirus (BKV)-encoded antigens plays a crucial role in long-term protection against virus-associated pathogenesis in transplant recipients. However, in-depth understanding on dynamics of these cellular immune responses is required to develop better immune monitoring and immunotherapeutic strategies.

methodsHere, we have conducted a proteome-wide analysis of BKV-specific T-cell responses in a cohort of 53 healthy individuals and 26 kidney transplant recipients to delineate the functional and transcriptional profile of these effector cells and compared these characteristics to T cells directed against cytomegalovirus, which is also known to cause significant morbidity in transplant recipients.

resultsProfiling of BKV-specific CD4

conclusionsThese observations provide an important platform for the future development of immune monitoring and adoptive T-cell therapy strategies for BKV-associated diseases in transplant recipients, which may also be exploited for similar therapeutic value in JCV-associated clinical complications.
