Role of Donor Unrestricted T Cells (DURTs) in TB Host Defense: Implications for Novel TB Vaccine Development.
Review in Vaccines, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of infectious disease-related death globally. Most TB vaccine strategies have focused on conventional CD4 T cell responses, but to date, these have failed to deliver durable sterilizing protection. Donor unrestricted T cells (DURTs), including CD1-restricted T cells, HLA-E-restricted T cells, MR1-restricted T cells and γδ T cells represent an attractive complementary target for future TB vaccine development. They recognize antigens through conserved, non-polymorphic restricting elements and are therefore broadly targetable across genetically diverse populations. They are also enriched at mucosal sites, have rapid effector and cytotoxic capacities and recognize conserved mycobacterial ligands. Emerging human and animal data support their participation in antimycobacterial immunity and suggest they can be shaped by BCG vaccination and other immunization strategies. Here, we review the evidence for DURT involvement in TB host defense, assess their strengths and current limitations as vaccine targets, and discuss how DURT-directed approaches may help to enable faster, broader, and more durable protection against
