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 natural killer T (iNKT) cells are an innate T-cell lineage known to recognize a range of endogenously derived and exogenously derived glycolipid antigens. Advances in our understanding of this T-cell subset have enabled researchers to investigate the immunomodulatory activity of iNKT cell ligands in experimental models of diseases such as cancer, allergy and chronic inflammatory joint disease. To a large extent, the ability of iNKT cells to regulate such disease models has been ascribed to their capacity to promote a polarized cytokine environment, which is understood to skew adaptive immune responses. In this Review, we discuss the current understanding of how iNKT-cell polarization is regulated and relate this basic theory to the proposed role for iNKT cells in models of rheumatologic disease.
