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

Beta-glucosylceramide has been shown to affect natural killer T cell function in models of inflammation. We, therefore, investigated the effects of different beta-glycosphingolipids, including beta-glucosylceramide, on STAT (signal transducers and activators of transcription) signaling pathways and determined whether these effects were mediated by lipid raft microdomains and/or CD1d molecules. The effects of alpha- and beta-structured ligands on the lipid raft protein flotillin-2 were studied in both natural killer T hybridoma cells and leptin-deficient mice. To determine whether CD1d was involved in the effects of the beta-glycosphingolipids, an anti-CD1d blocking antibody was used in a cell proliferation assay system. The downstream effects on the protein phosphorylation levels of STAT1, STAT3, and STAT6 were examined in both immune-mediated hepatitis and hepatoma models. The effects of beta-glycosphingolipids on the STAT signaling pathways were found to be dependent on CD1d. Lipid rafts were affected by both the dose and ratio of the beta-glycosphingolipids and the acyl chain length, and these effects were followed by downstream effects on STAT proteins. Our results show that beta-glycosphingolipids have beneficial effects in natural killer T cell-dependent immune-mediated metabolic and malignant animal models in vivo.
