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 nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLR) include a large family of proteins that have important functions in basic physio-pathological processes like inflammation, cell death and regulation of transcription of key molecules for the homeostasis of the immune system. They are all characterized by a common backbone structure (the STAND ATPase module consisting in a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD), an helical domain 1 (HD1) and a winged helix domain (WHD), used by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes as defense mechanism. In this review, we will focus on the MHC class II transactivator (CIITA), the master regulator of MHC class II (MHC-II) gene expression and the founding member of NLR. Although a consistent part of the described NLR family components is often recalled as innate or intrinsic immune sensors, CIITA in fact occupies a special place as a unique example of regulator of both intrinsic and adaptive immunity. The description of the discovery of CIITA and the genetic and molecular characterization of its expression will be followed by the most recent studies that have unveiled this dual role of CIITA, key molecule in intrinsic immunity as restriction factor for human retroviruses and precious tool to induce the expression of MHC-II molecules in cancer cells, rendering them potent surrogate antigen presenting cells (APC) for their own tumor antigens.
