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

Invariant (i) natural killer T (NKT) cells become undetectable after stimulation with alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer) or interleukin (IL)-12. Although down-modulation of surface T-cell receptor (TCR)/NKR-P1C (NK1.1) expression has been shown convincingly after stimulation with alpha-GalCer, it is unclear whether this also holds true for IL-12 stimulation. To determine whether failure to detect iNKT cells after IL-12 stimulation is caused by dissociation/internalization of TCR and/or NKR-P1C, or by block of de novo synthesis of these molecules, and to examine the role of IL-12 in the disappearance of iNKT cells after stimulation with alpha-GalCer, surface (s)/cytoplasmic (c) protein expression, as well as messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of TCR/NKR-P1C by iNKT cells after stimulation with alpha-GalCer or IL-12, and the influence of IL-12 neutralization on the down-modulation of sTCR/sNKR-P1C expression by iNKT cells after stimulation with alpha-GalCer were examined. The s/cTCR(+ )s/cNKR-P1C(+) iNKT cells became undetectable after in vivo administration of alpha-GalCer, which was partially prevented by IL-12 neutralization. Whereas s/cNKR-P1C(+) iNKT cells became undetectable after in vivo administration of IL-12, s/cTCR(+) iNKT cells were only marginally affected. mRNA expression of TCR/NKR-P1C remained unaffected by alpha-GalCer or IL-12 treatment, despite the down-modulation of cTCR and/or cNKR-P1C protein expression. By contrast, cTCR(+ )cNKR-P1C(+) sTCR(-) sNKR-P1C(-) iNKT cells and cNKR-P1C(+) sNKR-P1C(-) iNKT cells were detectable after in vitro stimulation with alpha-GalCer and IL-12, respectively. Our results indicate that TCR and NKR-P1C expression by iNKT cells is differentially regulated by signalling through TCR and IL-12R. They also suggest that IL-12 participates, in part, in the disappearance of iNKT cells after stimulation with alpha-GalCer by down-modulating not only sNKR-P1C, but also sTCR.
