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

The mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) JHM strain (JHMV) produces primary demyelination in the central nervous system associated with acute encephalomyelitis. Humoral and cellular immune responses both participate in controlling the development of chronic MHV-induced demyelination. A subset of the CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) induced by immunization of BALB/c (H-2d) mice with JHMV is specific for the viral nucleocapsid protein. This CTL population recognizes an epitope located within the carboxy-terminal 149 amino acids in association with the Ld class I molecule (S. A. Stohlman, S. Kyuwa, M. Cohen, C. Bergmann, J. P. Polo, J. Yeh, R. Anthony, and J. G. Keck, Virology 189:217-224, 1992). Using a panel of vaccinia virus recombinants expressing truncated forms of the nucleocapsid protein and a series of overlapping synthetic peptides, we mapped the response to 15 amino acids. This sequence, encompassing the MHV epitope, contains the Ld-specific binding motif. The predicted 9-mer peptide (residues 318 to 326: APTAGAFFF) was sufficient and highly active in sensitizing target cells for CTL recognition when either added exogenously or synthesized intracellularly. Cross-reactivity of JHMV nucleocapsid protein-specific CTL with six other MHV strains indicated that natural sequence variations within the 9-mer epitope are tolerated in positions 4 and 5, whereas all other amino acids are conserved. These data define a novel 9-mer Ld-restricted CTL epitope which represents the first MHV CTL epitope. Characterization of this epitope provides a molecular basis to study the role of nucleocapsid protein-specific CTL in the clearance of JHMV from the central nervous system.
