Mystery Checkpoint Revealed: KIR3DL3 Finally Found a Ligand in HHLA2.
Article in Cancer immunology research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Inhibitory killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (iKIR) tolerize natural killer cells and some T cells upon detecting classical HLA class I molecules. In this issue, Bhatt and colleagues identify the B7 family member HHLA2 as an unanticipated ligand for a peculiar iKIR family member, KIR3DL3. These data establish a new inhibitory checkpoint pathway that may protect HHLA2
