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

Priming of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) by dendritic cells (DCs) is crucial for elimination of pathogens and malignant cells. To activate CTLs, DCs present antigenic peptide-complexed MHC class I molecules (MHC-I) that will be recognized by the CTLs with T cell receptors and CD8 molecules. Here we show that paired Ig-like receptor (PIR)-B, an MHC-I receptor expressed on antigen-presenting cells, can regulate CTL triggering by blocking the access of CD8 molecules to MHC-I. PIR-B-deficient DCs evoked CTLs more efficiently, leading to accelerated graft and tumor rejection. PIR-B(+) non-DC transfectant cells served as less efficient stimulators and targets for CTLs than PIR-B(-) cells at the effector phase in vitro. On surface plasmon resonance analysis, PIR-B and CD8alpha alpha were revealed to compete in binding to MHC-I. Our results may provide a novel strategy for regulating CTL-mediated immunity and diseases in a sterical manner.
