Effect of NK cell receptor genetic variation on allogeneic stem cell transplantation outcome and in vitro NK cell cytotoxicity.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Natural killer (NK) cells recognize and may kill malignant cells via their cell surface receptors. Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genotypes of donors have been reported to adjust the risk of relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), particularly in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. To test whether non-KIR NK cell receptors have a similar effect, we screened 1,638 genetic polymorphisms in 21 non-KIR NK cell receptor genes for their associations with relapse and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after HSCT in 1,491 HSCT donors (from Finland, the UK, Spain, and Poland), divided into a discovery and replication cohort. Eleven polymorphisms regulating or located in CD226, CD244, FCGR3A, KLRD1, NCR3, and PVRIG were associated with the risks for relapse and GVHD. These associations could not be confirmed in the replication cohort. Blood donor NK cells carrying alleles showing genetic protection for relapse had a higher in vitro NK cell killing activity than non-carriers whereas those with alleles genetically protective for GVHD had lower cytotoxicity, potentially indicating functional effects. Taken together, these results show no robust effects of genetic variation in the tested non-KIR NK cell receptors on the outcome of HSCT.
