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

CD154 is a promising target for immunosuppression in transplantation, autoimmunity, and inflammatory diseases. We previously identified CD11b as a novel alternative receptor for CD154 during alloimmunity. However, the impact of specific CD154:CD11b blockade on immune responses to infection has not been well characterized. Here, we have shown that in contrast with its immunosuppressive effect on graft-specific CD8+ T cells, CD154:CD11b blockade unexpectedly improved both the quantity and quality of murine herpesvirus-68-specific CD8+ T cells as measured by an increase in tetramer-positive KLRG1loCD127hi memory precursor effector cells. The differential effect of CD154:CD11b blockade on graft- versus virus-specific CD8+ T cells was underpinned by differences in phosphorylated S6 downstream of mTOR complex 1; however, differential expression of key transcription factors Eomes and TCF-1 was dictated by the type of antigen stimulus. These data demonstrate that priming conditions play an important role in determining the outcome of immunotherapy and suggest that specific inhibition of CD154:CD11b interactions could be effective for suppressing alloimmune responses while maintaining protective immunity to minimize infectious complications following transplantation.
