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

We have previously reported that heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) vaccination induced natural killer (NK) cell activity in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). In this study, HSP70 of both autologous and allogeneic origin was found to stimulate IFN-gamma production from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of CML patients, as well as of normal subjects. Further investigations demonstrated that the activity of HSP70 was dependent on both NK cells and dendritic cells (DCs). HSP70 did not induce significant IFN-gamma production from either NK cells or DCs alone. Mechanistically, we found that HSP70-mediated DC-NK cell crosstalk required cell-cell contact, which could be inhibited completely by neutralizing antibody against NK activating receptor NKG2D. The significance of NKG2D was further corroborated by the finding that HSP70 induced the expression of an NKG2D ligand, the MHC class I chain-related protein A (MICA), on DCs; HSP70-augmented IFN-gamma release was abrogated by antibody against MICA. Thus extracellular HSP70, released during either stress or inflammatory cell death, may serve as a critical link between NK and DCs in mounting immune responses against infections, cancers and self-antigens.
