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

Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG3) is an inhibitory receptor that plays a critical role in controlling T cell tolerance and autoimmunity and is a major immunotherapeutic target. LAG3 is expressed on the cell surface as a homodimer but the functional relevance of this is unknown. In this study, we show that the association between the TCR/CD3 complex and a murine LAG3 mutant that cannot dimerize is perturbed in CD8+ T cells. We also show that LAG3 dimerization is required for optimal inhibitory function in a B16-gp100 tumor model. Finally, we demonstrate that a therapeutic LAG3 Ab, C9B7W, which does not block LAG3 interaction with its cognate ligand MHC class II, disrupts LAG3 dimerization and its association with the TCR/CD3 complex. These studies highlight the functional importance of LAG3 dimerization and offer additional approaches to therapeutically target LAG3.
