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

There is an increase in number of gamma delta T cells in the peritoneal cavity after intraperitoneal (i.p.) inoculation with Escherichia coli. The E. coli-induced gamma delta T cells in C3H/He mice contain a large amount of Thy-1-negative population in addition to the Thy-1-positive population. We investigated the difference between the Thy-1-positive and the Thy-1-negative gamma delta T cells. Although it was found that only up to 4% of the gamma delta T cells on day 5 after infection were in cycling phase, and that the gamma delta T cells did not proliferate by immobilized anti-T-cell receptor (TCR) gamma delta monoclonal antibody stimulation, the gamma delta T cells proliferated in the presence of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-7. The Thy-1-negative gamma delta T cells showed higher proliferative response compared with the Thy-1-positive gamma delta T cells. Furthermore, the Thy-1-negative gamma delta T cells showed lower IFN-gamma mRNA expression than the Thy-1-positive gamma delta T cells. On the other hand, both the Thy-1-positive and Thy-1-negative gamma delta T cells predominantly expressed V gamma 1, V gamma 4, V gamma 5, V gamma 6 and V delta 1, and no difference of V region usage was detected between them. These results suggest that functions of Thy-1-positive gamma delta T cells differ from Thy-1-negative gamma delta T cells although Thy-1-positive and Thy-1-negative gamma delta T cells may have similar V region repertoire and, possibly, similar antigen specificity.
