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

Signal-transducing adaptor protein-1 (STAP-1) is an adaptor protein specifically expressed in immune cells, such as T cells. We previously demonstrated that STAP-1 positively upregulates T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated T cell activation by interacting with LCK and phospholipase C-γ1 and affecting autoimmune demyelination and airway inflammation. In this study, we aimed to generate a new STAP-1-derived peptide, iSP1, to inhibit the STAP-1-LCK interaction. We also analyzed its function in vitro and in vivo. iSP1 successfully interfered with STAP-1-LCK binding and suppressed TCR-mediated signal transduction, interleukin-2 production, and human and murine T cell proliferation. Additionally, iSP1 prevented the progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by inhibiting Th1 and Th17 cell infiltration. Our findings suggest iSP1 as a new therapeutic immunomodulatory agent for T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.
