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

Although gamma/delta T cells express numerous in vitro functions similar to alpha/beta T cells, little is known about their biological functioning in vivo. Furthermore, it is unclear whether alpha/beta T cells and gamma/delta T cells act independently or in a coordinated way. In the present study, gamma/delta T cells were modulated in vivo by i.p. injection of the anti-gamma/delta T-cell receptor (TCR) monoclonal antibody GL3. GL3 administration caused disappearance of the gamma/delta TCR in spleen and lymph node cells and the gamma/delta TCR was reexpressed after in vitro cultivation for a few days. When cultured in vitro for 4 days, in the absence of foreign antigens, spleen and lymph node alpha/beta T cells from GL3-modulated mice showed vigorous proliferative responses. CD4 T lymphocytes from GL3-modulated mice produced interleukin 2, and CD8 T cells developed into cytolytic T lymphocytes in vitro capable of lysing syngeneic and allogeneic targets. Treatment with heat-inactivated GL3 or with normal hamster immunoglobulin did not cause any of these effects. These findings suggest that the anti-gamma/delta TCR monoclonal antibody GL3 modulates gamma/delta T cells in vivo and that this modulation has profound effects on alpha/beta T-cell reactivity. Hence, the data suggest a role for gamma/delta T cells in the regulation of alpha/beta T-cell activation in vivo.
