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

The immune response of our body, whether it is directed to infective agents, allergens, or tumors, should support our recovery but can also be dangerous if dysregulated. There are molecular systems that have the role of tuning the immune response, such as activating and inhibitory receptors and co-stimulatory molecules. Among this plethora of receptors, immune-checkpoint receptors (ICRs), as well as natural killer receptors (NKRs), expressed on NK and/or T cells can up- or downregulate the function of activating and inhibitory receptors during immune cell crosstalk. Among NKRs, NKRP1A/CD161 has shown to be a promising target molecule for immunotherapy. This receptor showed inhibiting or co-stimulatory effects depending on the cell type analyzed as well as the analytical procedures, reagents used, and the experimental context. The aim of the following review will be to explore the structural and functional features of this receptor on immune cells, its relevance in the tumor microenvironment and its targeting as an immunotherapeutic tool in cancers.
