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

objectiveTo investigate the effect of ARL67156, a small-molecule inhibitor of CD39, on cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells against gastric cancer cells.

methodsHuman peripheral blood-derived primary NK cells isolated and purified using a magnetic bead antibody method were treated with 100 μmol/L ARL67156 for 24 h, and the signaling pathway of NK cell activation was detected by Western blotting. The level of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in the supernatant of NK cells co-cultured with gastric cancer cells was detected using ELISA, and NK cell CD107a degranulation was measured with flow cytometry. The cytotoxicity of NK cells against co-cultured gastric cancer cells was evaluated using flow cytometry. In a nude mouse model bearing subcutaneous gastric cancer xenografts, the therapeutic effect of intravenous transfusion of NK cells and intraperitoneal injection of ARL67156 was assessed by measuring the changes in tumor volume.

results(25.97 ± 5.69) % of peripheral blood NK cells from healthy individuals positive for CD39 expression. Treatment with ARL67156 significantly upregulated the activation molecules including NKG2D, DAP10, CD57, and CD16 and reduced the expressions of the inhibitory receptors TIGIT and KIR, thereby promoting the secretion of IFN-γ and CD107a degranulation in NK cells (

conclusionARL67156 activates NK cells through the vav1-Syk signaling pathway to enhance their cytotoxicity against gastric cancer cells, which may serve as a new strategy for NK cell immunotherapy for gastric cancer.
