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

CD8(+) T cells have been implicated as critical effector cells in protective immunity against malaria parasites developing within hepatocytes. A vaccine that protects against malaria by inducing CD8(+) T cells will probably have to include multiple epitopes on the same protein or different proteins, because of parasite polymorphism and genetic restriction of T-cell responses. To determine if CD8(+) T-cell responses against multiple P. falciparum proteins can be induced in primates by immunization with plasmid DNA, rhesus monkeys were immunized intramuscularly with a mixture of DNA plasmids encoding four P. falciparum proteins or with individual plasmids. All six monkeys immunized with PfCSP DNA, seven of nine immunized with PfSSP2 DNA, and five of six immunized with PfExp-1 or PfLSA-1 DNA had detectable antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) after in vitro restimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. CTL activity was genetically restricted and dependent on CD8(+) T cells. By providing the first evidence for primates that immunization with a mixture of DNA plasmids induces CD8(+) T-cell responses against all the components of the mixture, these studies provide the foundation for multigene immunization of humans.
