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

BACKGROUNDS AND

aimsCD8+T cells are crucially associated with the fight against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. CD161 has been shown to express remarkably on HCV-specific CD8+T cells. However, the accurate function of CD161+CD8+T cells in HBV immunity or pathogenesis remains undetermined.

methodsBlood samples were collected from 25 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Peripheral blood levels of CD161+CD8+T cells and their correlation with serum ALT levels were analyzed in CHB patients. To analyze the in vivo CD161+CD8+T cell's number, function, and intrahepatic recruitment characteristics, HBV replication mouse models were established. The expression of CD161 on HBV-specific CD8+T cells was also detected by analyzing CD161+CD8+T cell functions during infection.

resultsPatients with CHB infection had a markedly lower peripheral blood frequency of CD161+CD8+T cells than did healthy controls and negatively correlated with serum ALT level. Furthermore, compared to the control mice, the frequency of CD161+CD8+T cells was significantly decreased in the blood of acute and chronic HBV-replicating mice. Moreover, CHB-replicating mice had significantly increased hepatic levels of CD161+CD8+T cells, which was not observed in the acute group of mice. Additionally, the CD161+CD8+T cells were categorized into CD161

conclusionDuring HBV infection, the intrahepatic recruitment of CD161+CD8+T cells was mainly CD161
