Graft-versus-host disease in recipients of grafts from natural killer T cell-deficient (Jalpha281(-/-)) donors.
Article in Immunology, 2006. 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
Valpha14i natural killer T cells (NKT cells) are a CD1-restricted subset of NKT cells that express an invariable Valpha14+ Jalpha281+ alphabeta T-cell receptor. To determine whether the absence of Valpha14i NKT cells from the graft affects the development of acute GVHD, we induced GVH reactions using Jalpha281(-/-) mice as donors in the C57BL/6-->(C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F1-hybrid strain combination. Recipients of grafts from Jalpha281(-/-) donors were not protected from either the morbidity or the severe wasting syndrome associated with the development of acute GVHD, but the concentrations of some T helper 1 (Th1) and Th2 cytokines were different from those seen in recipients of grafts from wild-type donors. Interferon-gamma was seen earlier (day 4) in recipients of grafts from Jalpha281(-/-) donors but did not reach the concentrations seen in recipients of grafts from wild-type donors on day 8 (P < 0.02). On day 8, the amount of tumour necrosis factor-alpha released into the serum following the injection of a small amount of lipopolysaccharide was lower in recipients of grafts from Jalpha281(-/-) donors (P < 0.02). The amount of interleukin (IL)-5 was also lower in recipients of grafts from Jalpha281(-/-) donors, when compared to the concentration seen in recipients of grafts from wild-type donors (P < 0.002). IL-13 was seen in recipients of grafts from Jalpha281(-/-) donors but not in recipients of grafts from wild-type donors. Our findings show that the absence of donor Valpha14i NKT cells is associated with lower concentrations of some Th1 cytokines. We also observed higher IL-13 concentrations and lower IL-5 concentrations in recipients of grafts from Jalpha281(-/-) donors indicating a variable effect on Th2 cytokine production.
