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

To study the role of the interferon- (IFN) gammaR2 chain in IFN-gamma signaling and immune function, IFN-gammaR2-deficient mice have been generated and characterized. Cells derived from IFN-gammaR2 -/- mice are unable to activate either JAK/STAT signaling proteins or gene transcription in response to IFN-gamma. The lack of IFN-gamma responsiveness alters IFN-gamma-induced Ig class switching by B cells from these mice. In vitro cultures of T cells demonstrate that the T cells from the IFN-gammaR2 -/- mice have a defect in Th1 cell differentiation. The IFN-gammaR2 (-/-) mice also produce lower amounts of IFN-gamma in response to antigenic challenge. In addition, IFN-gammaR2 -/- mice are defective in contact hypersensitivity and are highly susceptible to infection by Listeria monocytogenes. These results demonstrate that the IFN-gammaR2 is essential for IFN-gamma-mediated immune responses in vivo.
