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

A subset of mononuclear cells present in most tissues coexpresses receptors of both natural killer (NK) and T cells. Although linked to antiviral immunity, the function of these putative NKT cells is uncertain. We present evidence that human CD56+ DR- NKT cells exhibit hybrid adaptive and innate immune functions. These cells spontaneously lysed tumour cell targets and upon engagement of T-cell antigen receptors secreted the cytokines interferon-gamma and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Conversely, GM-CSF treatment transformed the NKT cells into dendritic cells, inducing rapid expression of HLA-DR and the co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86. The ability to stimulate tetanus toxoid-specific responses from naïve T cells was acquired within 3 days of activating CD56+ NKT cells with GM-CSF. These results suggest a potential role for NKT cells in the initiation and control of primary immunity during the acute phase of infection.
