A new aspect in glycolipid biology: glycosphingolipids as antigens recognized by T lymphocytes.
Review in Neurochemical research, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
T cells may recognize a large variety of ligands with different chemical structures. Recently, glycosphingolipids have also been shown to stimulate human T lymphocytes. Recognition of glycosphingolipids is restricted by the nonpolymorphic CD1 molecules, expressed by professional antigen-presenting cells and by macrophages infiltrating inflammatory sites. CD1 molecules have a structure resembling that of classical MHC class I molecules, with the terminal extracellular domains characterized by two antiparallel alpha helices placed on two hydrophobic pockets. The glycosphingolipids bound to CD1 insert the lipid tails in the two pockets and position the hydrophilic head on the external part of CD1. The TCR interacts with aminoacids present in the two alpha helices and with residues provided by the carbohydrate moiety of glycosphingolipids and discriminates their structural variations. T cells recognizing self-glycosphingolipids release proinflammatory cytokines and may have a pathogenetic role in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
