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

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an innate-like T cell subset important in the early response to bacterial and viral lung pathogens. MAIT cells recognize bacterial small molecule metabolites presented on the Class I-like molecule MR1. As with other Class I and Class II molecules, MR1 can likely sample ligands in the intracellular environment through multiple cellular pathways. Rab6, a small GTPase that regulates a number of endosomal trafficking pathways including retrograde transport to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), is involved in the presentation of ligands from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) to MAIT cells. The Rab6-mediated trafficking pathway contains endosomal compartments that share features with the Mtb intracellular compartment. Using inducible expression of MR1, this study demonstrates that Rab6 regulates the recycling of MR1 molecules from the cell surface through endosomal trafficking compartments to the TGN. This Rab6-dependent pool of recycled MR1, which is available for reloading with ligands from bacterial pathogens like Mtb, may be important for early recognition of infected cells by MAIT cells in the lung.
