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

Infectious complications, including widespread human cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease, frequently occur after hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplantation due to immunosuppressive treatment causing impairment of T-cell immunity. Therefore, in-depth analysis of the impact of immunosuppressants on antiviral T cells is needed. We analyzed the impact of mTOR inhibitors sirolimus (SIR/S) and everolimus (EVR/E), calcineurin inhibitor tacrolimus (TAC/T), purine synthesis inhibitor mycophenolic acid (MPA/M), glucocorticoid prednisolone (PRE/P) and common double (T+S/E/M/P) and triple (T+S/E/M+P) combinations on antiviral T-cell functionality. T-cell activation and effector molecule production upon antigenic stimulation was impaired in presence of T+P and triple combinations. SIR, EVR and MPA exclusively inhibited T-cell proliferation, TAC inhibited activation and cytokine production and PRE inhibited various aspects of T-cell functionality including cytotoxicity. This was reflected in an
