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

Despite playing critical roles in the immune response and having significant potential in immunotherapy, γδ T cells have garnered little of the limelight. One major reason for this paradox is that their antigen recognition mechanisms are largely unknown, limiting our understanding of their biology and our potential to modulate their activity. One of the best-studied γδ subsets is the human Vγ9Vδ2T cell population, which predominates in peripheral blood and can combat both microbial infections and cancers. Although it has been known for decades that Vγ9Vδ2T cells respond to the presence of small pyrophosphate-based metabolites, collectively named phosphoantigens (pAgs), derived from microbial sources or malignant cells, the molecular basis for this response has been unclear. A major breakthrough in this area came with the identification of the Butyrophilin 3A (BTN3A) proteins, members of the Butyrophilin/Butyrophilin-like protein family, as mediators between pAgs and Vγ9Vδ2T cells. In this article, we review the most recent studies regarding pAg activation of human Vγ9Vδ2T cells, mainly focusing on the role of BTN3A as the pAg sensing molecule, as well as its potential impact on downstream events of the activation process.
