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

Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) is an effector function performed by natural killer (NK) cells to target and clear viral infections and cancer. ADCC is a critical feature of several antibody and cellular therapeutics as well as vaccination strategies. Using microscopy to understand the details of molecular events driving ADCC is essential to improving such therapeutics but has been limited by technologies that cannot practically provide the spatial resolution necessary to study protein function at the single molecule level in cells. In this chapter, we describe a model system using MINFLUX nanoscopy to study the molecular distribution of human FcγRIIIa (CD16a), the IgG receptor, in the NK cell immunological synapse during ADCC. The technique described here will enable further exploration of how CD16a drives NK cell ADCC and can also be applied to the study of other important protein receptors for which nanometer localization precision is needed.
