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

Introduction: Reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a major complication in immunocompromised patients, and understanding donor variability in antiviral immunity is essential for optimizing adoptive T-cell therapy. This study aimed to identify immunogenetic determinants of virus-specific T-cell responses in healthy donors to guide donor selection. Methods: CMV- and EBV-specific T-cell responses were characterized using flow cytometry and IFN-g ELISpot after stimulation with peptide pools, followed by integrated analyses correlating the response magnitude with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II alleles, HLA haplotypes, and HLA-G 3'UTR polymorphisms. Results: CMV 65-kDa phosphoprotein (pp65) induced stronger CD8 Discussion: Together, these results indicate that classical and non-classical HLA variations are associated with inter-donor differences in antiviral T-cell response in an antigen- and virus-dependent manner, providing a translational framework to refine donor selection and improve the design of T-cell-based immunotherapies.
