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

Introduction: Methods: Bulk RNA-sequencing of mock- and Results: RNA-sequencing revealed upregulation of herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM, TNFRSF14) in infected human dermal fibroblasts, confirmed at the protein level. HVEM was functionally engaged by CD160, and CD160 blockade reduced NK cell degranulation and secretion of cytotoxic mediators in fibroblast co-cultures. CD160 deficiency impaired NK cell activation Discussion: These findings establish the HVEM-CD160 axis as a key regulator of NK cell effector function in the skin during acute
