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

backgroundNatural killer (NK) cells act as the host's first line of immunosurveillance, and their maturation and effector functions are finely regulated by multiple factors. Although histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition has been reported to impair NK cell viability and/or antitumor effects, the specific HDAC member involved and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

methodsWe analyzed the expression of HDAC family members during NK cell activation and in tumor-infiltrating NK cells. Genetic approaches, including

resultsHDAC6 was the most significantly upregulated HDAC member on NK cell activation, whereas its expression was reduced in tumor-infiltrating NK cells and correlated with poor patient survival.

conclusionHDAC6 was identified as a critical regulator of NK cell biology through strengthening the IL-15/STAT5 pathway and may serve as a potential target for improving NK cell function.
