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

Human CD137 (4-1BB), a member of the TNF receptor family, and its ligand CD137L (4-1BBL), are expressed on immune cells and tumor cells. CD137/CD137L interaction mediates bidirectional cellular responses of potential relevance in inflammatory diseases, autoimmunity and oncology. A soluble form of CD137 exists, elevated levels of which have been reported in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and various malignancies. Soluble CD137 (sCD137) is considered to represent a splice variant of CD137. In this report, however, evidence is presented that A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase (ADAM)10 and potentially also ADAM17 are centrally involved in its generation. Release of sCD137 by transfected cell lines and primary T cells was uniformly inhibitable by ADAM10 inhibition. The shedding function of ADAM10 can be blocked through inhibition of its interaction with surface exposed phosphatidylserine (PS), and this effectively inhibited sCD137 generation. The phospholipid scramblase Anoctamin-6 (ANO6) traffics PS to the outer membrane and thus modifies ADAM10 function. Overexpression of ANO6 increased stimulated shedding, and hyperactive ANO6 led to maximal constitutive shedding of CD137. sCD137 was functionally active and augmented T cell proliferation. Our findings shed new light on the regulation of CD137/CD137L immune responses with potential impact on immunotherapeutic approaches targeting CD137.
