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

Background: Natural killer (NK) cells play important immunoregulatory roles in the immune pathogenesis of severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Our previous research showed that SAA caused a decrease in T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM3) expression on NK cells. Here we investigated the expression of surface receptors, and the cytotoxicity of peripheral TIM3 Methods: The expressions of surface receptors and cytoplasmic protein of TIM3 Results: Activating receptors NKG2D and Granzyme B were higher, while inhibiting receptors NKG2A, CD158a and CD158b were lower on TIM3 Conclusions: Therefore, TIM3 exerts its inhibitory effect on NK cells and participates in the immune pathogenesis of SAA. Low expression of TIM3 contributes to the enhancement of NK cell activity which in turn inhibits the immune activation state of SAA and improves the disease state. Our research may aid the development of new therapeutic strategies based on TIM3-NK cells infusion for the treatment of SAA.
