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

CD1d-restricted invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells play central roles in the activation and regulation of innate and adaptive immunity. Cytokine-mediated and CD1d-dependent interactions between iNKT cells and myeloid and lymphoid cells enable iNKT cells to contribute to the activation of multiple cell types, with important impacts on host immunity to infection and tumors and on the prevention of autoimmunity. Here, we review the mechanisms by which iNKT cells contribute to B cell maturation, antibody and cytokine production, and antigen presentation. Cognate interactions with B cells contribute to the rapid production of antibodies directed against conserved non-protein antigens resulting in rapid but short-lived innate humoral immunity. iNKT cells can also provide non-cognate help for the generation of antibodies directed against protein antigens, by promoting the activation of follicular helper T cells, resulting in long-lasting adaptive humoral immunity and B cell memory. iNKT cells can also regulate humoral immunity by promoting the development of autoreactive B cells into regulatory B cells. Depletions and functional impairments of iNKT cells are found in patients with infectious, autoimmune and malignant diseases associated with altered B cell function and in murine models of these conditions. The adjuvant and regulatory activities that iNKT cells have for B cells makes them attractive therapeutic targets for these diseases.
