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

CD226, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, serves as a critical regulator in various immunological processes. CD226 is expressed across immune and non-immune cells, with predominant expression being observed in natural killer (NK) cells and T cells. By engaging ligands CD155 and CD112, it orchestrates diverse signaling pathways that modulate T cell differentiation and effector functions while enhancing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. Genetic polymorphisms and the dysregulated expression of CD226 are closely associated with susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, allergic diseases, and cancer progression. Growing evidence highlight CD226's emerging promise as a therapeutic target for immune-mediated diseases. The present work aims to review the current understanding of CD226's role in immune responses and to comprehensively outline its multifaceted involvement in different immunological diseases, providing insights for future research to advance our mechanistic understanding of its roles in disease pathogenesis.
