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: Adaptive human natural killer (NK) cells are an NK cell subpopulation arising upon cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. They are characterized by CD94/NKG2C expression, a mature CD57 Purpose: We developed a method to efficiently expand adaptive NK cells from NK-enriched cell preparations derived from the peripheral blood of selected CMV-seropositive healthy donors. The method is based on the use of an anti-CD94 monoclonal antibody (mAb) combined with IL-2 or IL-15. Results: By setting this method we were able to expand high numbers of NK cells showing the typical adaptive phenotype, CD94/NKG2C Conclusions: By this study we provide hints to improve previous expansion methods, by eliminating the use of genetically modified cells as stimulators, and obtaining effectors not expressing unwanted inhibitory receptors. This new protocol for expanding functional adaptive NK cells is safe, cost-effective and easily implementable in a GMP context, suitable for innovative immunotherapeutic purposes.
