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

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are adaptive T cells with innate-like characteristics including rapid cytokine production and a proliferative response to stimulation. Development of these cells in the thymus is dependent on expression of the microRNA (miRNA) processing enzyme Dicer, indicating that iNKT cells probably have distinct miRNA requirements for gene regulation during development. The miRNA miR-155 has previously been shown to have numerous roles in T cells, including regulation of proliferation and differentiation, and positive modulation of interferon-γ expression. We examined the role of miR-155 in the development and function of iNKT cells. Using germline-deficient miR-155 mice, we showed that loss of miR-155 resulted in unchanged iNKT cell frequency and cell number. Although miR-155 was up-regulated in iNKT cells upon activation with α-galactosylceramide, loss of miR-155 did not affect cytokine production or proliferation by iNKT cells. Hence, cytokine production occurs in iNKT cells independently of miR-155 expression.
