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

The mammalian immune system has been traditionally subdivided into two compartments known as the innate and the adaptive. T cells and B cells, which rearrange their antigen-receptor genes using the RAG recombinase, comprise the adaptive arm of immunity. Meanwhile, every other white blood cell has been grouped together under the broad umbrella of innate immunity, including NK cells. NK cells are considered innate lymphocytes because of their rapid responses to stressed cells and their ability to develop without receptor gene rearrangement (i.e. in RAG-deficient mice). However, new findings implicate a critical function for RAG proteins during NK-cell ontogeny, and suggest a novel mechanism by which controlled DNA breaks during NK-cell development dictate the fitness, function, and longevity of these cells. This review highlights recent work describing how DNA break events can impact cellular differentiation and fitness in a variety of cell types and settings.
