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

HMBOX1 is a new member of the homeobox family. Homeobox members have been reported to participate in embryonic development and systemic metabolism, but the function of HMBOX1 remains unclear, especially in the hematopoietic system. Here, we show that HMBOX1 is expressed at a high level in primary human NK cells but is expressed at much lower levels in NK cell lines. Overexpression of HMBOX1 significantly inhibited NK cell activities, including natural cytotoxicity against tumor cells, the level of CD107a (a marker protein for degranulation) and the production of cytolytic proteins (perforin and granzymes). More interestingly, HMBOX1 negatively regulated the expression of NKG2D and the activation of the NKG2D/DAP10 signaling pathway in NK cells. This effect was reversed by knocking down HMBOX1. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that HMBOX1 may act as a negative regulator of NK cell functions via suppressing the NKG2D/DAP10 signaling pathway.
