Early gamma interferon responses in lethal and nonlethal murine blood-stage malaria.
Article in Infection and immunity, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 81 papers.
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.
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
This study was undertaken to explore early differences in cytokine production during nonlethal and lethal blood-stage murine malaria infections. Cytokine analysis of spleens during these infections showed that the principal difference between two nonlethal and two lethal Plasmodium species was the production of gamma interferon 24 h after infection with nonlethal parasites. In contrast, no increases in interleukin-4 production were observed in the first 24 h and tumor necrosis factor alpha levels increased equally in both nonlethal and lethal infections. During the later phase of infection with nonlethal parasites, both gamma interferon and interleukin-4 levels increased markedly a few days before parasite clearance. Early increases in gamma interferon production in nonlethal infections of Plasmodium yoelii and Plasmodium chabaudi were dose related and increased significantly with the size of the inoculum. Studies with the nonlethal P. yoelii suggest that the early gamma interferon response is mediated by T cells and natural killer cells, as it was reduced in athymic mice and in mice depleted of their natural killer cells by treatment with specific antiserum. Infecting mice with increasing numbers of lethal P. yoelii and Plasmodium berghei parasites did not increase the amount of gamma interferon, interleukin-4, and tumor necrosis factor alpha produced in a dose-dependent fashion. We conclude that one consequence of the early production of gamma interferon and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, particularly after nonlethal P. yoelii infection, may be to adjust the balance of T-helper cell subset activation, and probably that of other immune responses, so as to enhance the mechanisms that are essential for elimination of the parasites. This suggests that a successful vaccine should contain antigens capable of inducing such responses.
