Cross-linking of Fc(gamma)-receptor on monocytes inhibits hepatitis C virus-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte induction in vitro.
Article in Immunology, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
In hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, immune complex (IC)-type virus particles are frequently observed in circulation. The IC leads to cross-linking of Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaR) on monocytes and exerts immunoinhibitory function. To test the roles of IC in HCV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) induction, we generated HCV CTL from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of chronic hepatitis C patients with or without HCV-IC- or immunoglobulin G (IgG)-coated culture plates and compared their lytic activities. HCV-IC or adherent IgG, which induces FcgammaR cross-linking, significantly reduced CTL activity. Expression of B7-1 on monocytes decreased on adherent IgG. In addition, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) production increased from cells on adherent IgG and their mRNA expression in monocytes was enhanced. Anti-TNF-alpha antibody during induction on adherent IgG inhibited lysis; however, anti-TGF-beta completely reversed its inhibitory effect. These results demonstrated that HCV-IC or adherent IgG impaired HCV-CTL induction in vitro. The FcgammaR-mediated CTL suppression occurred via decreased expression of monocyte B7-1 and/or enhanced production of TGF-beta1.
