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

The V-region immunoglobulin-containing suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA), a unique B7 family member, is an attractive immunotherapeutic target for cancer, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In 2016, a patent demonstrated V-Set and Immunoglobulin domain containing 8 (VSIG-8) was the putative VISTA receptor. Antagonistic or agonistic agents can conceivably modulate VISTA and its interacting partners, which will greatly benefit the treatment of many diseases. The interaction of VISTA and VSIG-8 were measured by Enzyme-linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA), Microscale Thermophoresis (MST) and coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiments. The bioactivity of VSIG-8 inhibitor L557-0155 was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. K
