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

The objective was to determine if antigen-specific tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells persist in respiratory tissues of adults immunized as children with whole-cell pertussis (wP) or acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines. Mononuclear cells from tonsil or nasal tissue cells were cultured with Bordetella pertussis antigens and TRM cells quantified by flow cytometry. Adults immunized with wP vaccines as children had significantly more interleukin 17A (IL-17A) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-producing TRM cells that respond to B. pertussis antigens in respiratory tissues when compared with aP-primed donors. Our findings demonstrate that wP vaccines induce CD4 TRM cells that can persist in respiratory tissues for decades.
