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

Natural killer (NK) cells are known to be activated during malaria infection, exhibiting both cytokine production and cytotoxic functions. However, NK cells are heterogeneous in their expression of surface activatory and inhibitory receptors which may influence their response to malaria parasites. Here, we studied the surface marker profile and activation dynamics of NK cells during a Controlled Human Malaria Infection in 12 healthy volunteers. Although there was significant inter-patient variability in timing and magnitude of NK cell activation, we found a consistent and strong increase in expression of the activatory receptor NKp30. Moreover, high baseline NKp30 expression was associated with NK cell activation at lower parasite densities. Our data suggest that NKp30 expression may influence the NK cell response to
