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

Based on sequence divergence in the transformation-relevant region, herpesvirus saimiri strains are classified into three subgroups. Only members of subgroup C transform human T lymphocytes to continuous interleukin-2-dependent growth in culture. In this study, human cord blood T cells were immortalized by using different subgroup C strains (C488, C484, and C139). The resulting T-cell lines represented different types of T-cell clones. They were either CD4+ or CD8+ and expressed either the alphabeta or the gammadelta type of T-cell receptors. If transformed by the same virus strain, alphabeta and gammadelta clones were similar with respect to viral persistence, virus gene expression, proliferation, and Th1-type cytokine production. However, major differences were observed in T cells immortalized by different subgroup C strains. Strain C139 persisted at low copy number, compared to the high copy number of prototype C488. The transformation-associated genes stpC and tip of strain C488 were strongly induced after T-cell stimulation. The homologous genes of strain C139 were only weakly expressed and not induced after activation. After CD2 ligation, the C488-transformed T cells produced interleukin-2, whereas the C139-transformed cells did not. Correspondingly, the C139-transformed T cells were less sensitive to cyclosporin A. Sequence comparison from different subgroup C strains revealed a variability of the stpC/tip promoter region and of the Lck-binding viral protein Tip. Thus, closely related subgroup C strains of herpesvirus saimiri cause major differences in the functional phenotype of growth-transformed human T cells.
