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 adaptation of natural killer (NK) cells to their major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I environment we have established a novel mouse model with mosaic expression of H-2D(d) using a Cre/loxP system. In these mice, we noticed that NK cells expressing the inhibitory receptor for D(d), Ly49A, were specifically underrepresented among cells with low D(d) levels. That was due to the acquisition of D(d) molecules by the Ly49A+ NK cells that have lost their D(d) transgene. The uptake of H-2D molecules via the Ly49A receptor was restricted to strong ligands of Ly49A. Surprisingly, when Ly49A+ NK cells were D(d+), uptake of the alternative ligand D(k) was not detectable. Similarly, one anti-Ly49A mAb (A1) bound inefficiently when Ly49A was expressed on D(d+) NK cells. Concomitantly, functional assays demonstrated a reduced capacity of Ly49A to inhibit H-2(b)D(d) as compared with H-2(b) NK cells, rendering Ly49A+ NK cells in D(d+) mice particularly reactive. Minor reductions of D(d) levels and/or increases of activating ligands on environmental cells may thus suffice to abrogate Ly49A-mediated NK cell inhibition. The mechanistic explanation for all these phenomena is likely the partial masking of Ly49A by D(d) on the same cell via a lateral binding site in the H-2D(d) molecule.
