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

Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B4 (LILRB4) is an inhibitory receptor in the LILR family mainly expressed on normal and malignant human cells of myeloid origin. By binding to ligands, LILRB4 is activated and subsequently recruits adaptors to cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibitory motifs to initiate different signaling cascades, thus playing an important role in physiological and pathological conditions, including autoimmune diseases, microbial infections, and cancers. In normal myeloid cells, LILRB4 regulates intrinsic cell activation and differentiation. In disease-associated or malignant myeloid cells, LILRB4 is significantly correlated with disease severity or patient survival and suppresses T cells, thereby participating in the pathogenesis of various diseases. In summary, LILRB4 functions as an immune checkpoint on myeloid cells and may be a promising therapeutic target for various human immune diseases, especially for cancer immunotherapy.
