Polymorphisms of NKG2D ligands: diverse RAET1/ULBP genes in northeastern Thais.
Article in Immunogenetics, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Unique long 16 (UL-16)-binding proteins (ULBP) or retinoic acid early transcripts-1 (RAET1) are ligands to the activating receptor, NKG2D. The human RAET1/ULBP gene family is identified as ten members (RAET1E to N) with six loci encoding for potentially functional proteins. These are ULBP1 or RAET1I, ULBP2 or RAET1H, ULBP3 or RAET1N, and RAET1L, which are glycosylinositol phospholipid (GPI)-linked glycoproteins and ULBP4 or RAET1E and ULBP5 or RAET1G, which are transmembrane glycoproteins. The RAET1 products contain the alpha1 and alpha2 domains but lack the alpha3 domain and do not associate with beta2-microglobulin. RAET1/ULBPs have tissue-specific expressions, and some of them are also polymorphic. In the present study, polymorphic exons 2 and 3 of the RAET1E, G, H, I, L, and N were analyzed using sequence-based typing. One hundred and seventy-six unrelated healthy Northeastern Thais were included in this study. For RAET1E, RAET1G, RAET1H, and RAET1L, there were seven, two, five, and four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), respectively. Six of these are new SNPs, which are rare in this population. Of these, six new SNPs, two of two in RAET1E, two of three in RAET1H, and none of one in RAET1L are nonsynonymous substitutions. Interestingly, although the RAET1N is polymorphic in Caucasians, RAET1N and RAET1I had no variation in Thais indicating diverse RAET1 genes in different ethnic groups. These data provide the important basis for future analysis on the role of RAET1 genes in immune responses especially in cancer and infectious diseases.
