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 presence in Plasmodium falciparum of a mitogenic factor for the major human blood gammadelta T-cell subset has been known for years. These gammadelta T cells bearing T-cell receptor Vgamma9 and Vdelta2 variable regions also respond to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, through recognition of several phosphorylated nonpeptidic antigens. In this study, we undertook a better characterization of the malarial stimulus and show that the polygonal activation of Vgamma9/Vdelta2 gammadelta T cells by P. falciparum schizonts is also and exclusively attributable to two phosphorylated malarial compounds. The finding of such stimuli in eukaryotic cells evidence an antigenic link between intracellular parasites as different as Plasmodium and Mycobacterium species. Hence, phosphorylated antigens could be involved in a common pattern of transdisease T-cell responses against various human pathogens.
