Reduction of CD1d expression in vivo minimally affects NKT-enhanced antibody production but boosts B-cell memory.
Article in International immunology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The CD1d-binding glycolipid α-galactosylceramide exerts potent adjuvant effects on T-dependent humoral immunity. The mechanism is driven by cognate interaction between CD1d-expressing B cells and TCR-expressing type I CD1d-restricted NKT cells. Thus, far positive effects of alpha-galactosylceramide have been observed on initial and sustained antibody titers as well as B-cell memory. Following vaccination, each of these features is desirable, but good B-cell memory is of paramount importance for long-lived immunity. We therefore tested the hypothesis that CD1d expression in vivo differentially affects initial antibody titers versus B-cell memory responses. CD1d(+/+) and CD1d(+/-) mice were generated and immunized with antigen plus CD1d ligand before analysis of cytokine expression, CD40L expression, initial and longer term antibody responses and B-cell memory. As compared with CD1d(+/+) controls, CD1d(+/-) mice had equivalent numbers of total NKT cells, lower cytokine production, fewer CD40L-expressing NKT cells, lower initial antibody responses, similar long-term antibody responses and higher B-cell memory. Our data indicate that weak CD1d antigen presentation may facilitate good B-cell memory without compromising antibody responses. This work may impact vaccine design since over-stimulation of NKT cells at the time of vaccination may not lead to optimal B-cell memory.
