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

Transformation induced by Echinococcus granulosus in unprimed murine spleen cells in vitro was not prevented by rigorous T- or B-cell depletion. When naïve T- or B-cell populations were further depleted of macrophages, B-cell transformation was relatively unaffected whereas T-cell transformation was totally inhibited. Peritoneal macrophages from infected mice could present a mitogenic stimulus to purified, naïve T-cells, provided that the T-cells had identity in the I region of the H2 complex. K/D identity was neither necessary nor sufficient. It is concluded that transformation can be induced by E. granulosus in both T- and B-cells and that, at least in naïve T-cells, the stimulus can be an I region-restricted, macrophage-presented signal.
