Cross-Reactive T Cell Response Exists in Chronic Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus Infection upon Pichinde Virus Challenge.

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
Immunological memory to a previously encountered pathogen can influence the outcome of a sequential infection, which is called heterologous immunity. Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) immune mice develop a NP205-specific T cell response that is cross-reactive to Pichinde virus infection (PICV). So far, limited data are available if cross-reactive T cell responses appear also during chronic infections with exhausted T cell responses. Exhaustion in chronic viral infections can be treated with checkpoint inhibitors, which might affect heterologous outcomes unexpectedly. The aim of this study was to investigate the cross-reactive immune response in chronic LCMV clone 13 (LCMVcl13) infection during primary PICV infection at phenotypic, functional, and T cell receptor (TCR) level. Moreover, the influence of checkpoint inhibitor therapy with αPD-L1 was investigated. Cross-reactive NP205-specific responses were present and functional in the chronic environment. Additionally, chronically infected mice were also protected from PICV mediated weight loss compared to naive PICV mice. An altered phenotype of NP205-specific T cells was detectable, but no major differences in the clonality and diversity of their TCR repertoire were observed. Checkpoint inhibitor treatment with αPD-L1 did alter chronic LCMV infection but had no major effect on heterologous immunity to PICV. Our study demonstrated that cross-reactive CD8
