Epitope-specific in vivo protection against cytomegalovirus disease by CD8 T cells in the murine model of preemptive immunotherapy.
Article in Medical microbiology and immunology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
Preclinical research in murine models as well as subsequent clinical trials have concordantly revealed a high protective potential of antiviral CD8 T cells, of donor-derived ex vivo memory CD8 T cells in particular, in the immunotherapy of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in immunocompromised recipients. Although it is generally held view that the observed beneficial effect of the transferred cells is viral epitope-specific, involving the recognition of MHC class-I presented peptides by cognate T cell receptors, this assumption awaits formal proof, at least with regard to the in vivo function of the CD8 T cells. This question is particularly evident for CMV, since the function of viral immune evasion proteins interferes with the MHC class-I pathway of peptide presentation. Alternatively, therefore, one has to consider the possibility that the requirement for epitope recognition may be bypassed by other ligand-receptor interactions between CD8 T cells and infected cells, which may trigger the signaling for effector functions. Clearly, such a mechanism might explain why CD8 T cells are so efficient in controlling CMV infection despite the expression of viral immune evasion proteins. Here we provide direct evidence for epitope-specificity of antiviral protection by employing a recombinant murine CMV (mCMV), namely the mutant virus mCMV-IE1-L176A, in which an immunodominant viral epitope of the regulatory immediate-early protein IE1 is functionally deleted by a point mutation replacing leucine with alanine at the C-terminal MHC anchor position of the antigenic peptide.
