Cultured brain endothelium inhibits the cytocidal action of natural killer cells on glioma.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 1989. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 killing of GL26 and YAC-1 cells by natural killer cells (NKC) is reduced in the presence of a monolayer of endothelial cells. This reduction in cytotoxicity correlates with the degree of adhesion between the tumor cells and the endothelial monolayers. The cytotoxicity of NKC toward glioma was 10% when carried out on plastic, but a monolayer of endothelium derived from brain inhibited the cytotoxicity by about 90%. Endothelium from thoracic duct and lung also inhibited cytotoxicity by about 90%, endothelium from aorta inhibited by 55% and that from ovary by only 45%. Cytotoxicity of NKC toward YAC-1 (a control NK target) was 40% on plastic, but a monolayer of endothelium from thoracic duct inhibited the cytotoxicity by 75%. Endothelium from brain and lung inhibited cytotoxicity by about 60%, aorta by 50%, and ovary by 40%. Interactions between tumor cells and the host-organ microvascular endothelium appear to protect neoplastic cells from natural surveillance mechanisms and may play a role in the formation of metastatic tumor deposits.
