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

Natural killer T (NKT) cells generally recognize lipid-antigens presented in the context of the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d. CD1d-restricted NKT cells consist of two broad subsets: Type I, which express an invariant T cell receptor (TCR) and type II, which utilize diverse TCR gene segments. A major type II NKT subset has been shown to recognize a self-glycolipid, sulfatide. Both subsets play important roles in autoimmune diseases, tumor surveillance, and infectious diseases. While type I NKT cells protect from tumor growth by enhancing tumor surveillance, type II NKT cells may suppress anti-tumor immune responses. In a murine autoimmune hepatitis model, type I NKT cells contribute to pathogenesis, whereas activation of sulfatide-reactive type II NKT cells protects from disease. Sulfatide-mediated activation of type II NKT cells results in modification of dendritic cells and induction of anergy in type I NKT cells. Elucidation of this novel pathway of cross-regulation among NKT cell subsets will provide tools for intervention in autoimmune diseases and for designing strategies for effective anti-tumor immunity.
