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

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules are ligands for antigen receptors of cytotoxic T cells (CTL) and inhibitory receptors of natural killer (NK) cells. The high degree of HLA class I polymorphism allows for the selection of distinct and diverse sets of antigenic peptide ligands for presentation to CTL. The extensive polymorphisms of the HLA class I genes also result in large variations in their intracellular folding and assembly characteristics. Recent findings indicate that North American HLA-B variants differ significantly in the stabilities of their peptide-deficient forms and in the requirements for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident factor tapasin for proper assembly. In HIV-infected individuals, the presence of tapasin-independent HLA-B allotypes links to more rapid progression to death. Further studies are important to better understand how the intrinsic structural characteristics of HLA class I folding intermediates affect immune responses mediated by CTL and NK cells.
