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

For CD8 T lymphocytes to mount responses to cancer and virally-infected cells, dendritic cells must capture antigens present in tissues and display them as peptides bound to MHC-I molecules. This is most often accomplished through a pathway called antigen cross-presentation (XPT). Here, we report that the vesicular trafficking protein Rab39a is needed for optimal cross-presentation by dendritic cells in vitro and cross-priming of CD8 T cells in vivo. Without Rab39a, MHC-I presentation of intraphagosomal peptides is inhibited, indicating that Rab39a converts phagosomes into peptide-loading compartments. In this process, Rab39a promotes the delivery of MHC-I molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to phagosomes, and increases the levels of peptide-empty MHC-I conformers that can be loaded with peptide in this compartment. Rab39a also increases the levels of Sec22b and NOX2, previously recognized to participate in cross-presentation, on phagosomes, thereby filling in a missing link into how phagosomes mature into cross-presenting vesicles.
