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: Human natural killer (NK) cells have attracted widespread attention as a potential adoptive cell therapy (ACT). However, the therapeutic effects of NK cell infusion in patients with solid tumors are limited. There is an urgent need to explore a suitable new treatment plan to overcome weaknesses and support the superior therapeutic activity of NK cells. Methods: In this study, the mechanisms underlying the susceptibility of gastric cancer (GC) cell lines AGS, HGC-27, and NCI-N87 to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity were explored. Results: Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays showed that all three GC cell lines were susceptible to the umbilical cord blood NK (UCB-NK) cells, and HGC-27 cells with high CD56 expression were the most sensitive to UCB-NK, followed by NCI-N87 and AGS. When the expression of CD56 in HGC-27 cells decreased, the lytic activity of NK cells in HGC-27 cells was abating. In addition, combining oxaliplatin with NK cells produced additive anti-tumor effects Conclusion: Collectively, our study provides a deeper theoretical foundation and a better therapeutic strategy for NK cell immunotherapy in the treatment of human GC.
