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

Canine NK cells still are not well-characterized due to the lack of information concerning specific NK cell markers and the fact that NK cells are not an abundant cell population. In this study, we selectively expanded the canine cytotoxic large granular lymphocytes (CLGLs) that exhibit morphologic, genetic, and functional characteristics of NK cells from normal donor PBMCs. The cultured CLGLs were characterized by a high proportion of CD5(dim) expressing cells, of which the majority of cells co-expressed CD3 and CD8, but did not express TCRαβ and TCRγδ. The phenotype of the majority of the CLGLs was CD5(dim)CD3(+)CD8(+) TCRαβ(-)TCRγδ(-)CD4(-)CD21(-)CD11c(+/-)CD11d(+/-)CD44(+). The expression of mRNAs for NK cell-associated receptors (NKG2D, NKp30, NKp44, Ly49, perforin, and granzyme B) were highly upregulated in cultured CLGLs. Specifically, NKp46 was remarkably upregulated in the cultured CLGLs compared to PBMCs. The mRNAs for the NKT-associated iTCRα gene in CLGLs was present at a basal level. The cytotoxic activity of the CLGLs against canine NK cell-sensitive CTAC cells was remarkably elevated in a dose-dependent manner, and the CLGLs produced large amounts of IFN-γ. The antitumor activity of CLGLs extended to different types of canine tumor cells (CF41.Mg and K9TCC-pu-AXC) without specific antigen recognition. These results are consistent with prior reports, and strongly suggest that the selectively expanded CLGLs represent a population of canine NK cells. The results of this study will contribute to future research on canine NK cells as well as NK cell-based immunotherapy.
