Systematic multi-wavelength studies of neutron stars (NSs) have shown a jet and disk-jet coupling phenomenology which resembles, although with some important differences, that observed in black holes; ultra-relativistic transient ejection, steady compact jets, accretion-ejection cycles are indeed observed in NSs. I will review our observational knowledge of jet in NS X-ray binaries, focusing on the role of the parameters of the system which might be involved in the production of jets. First, I will discuss the role of the accretion rate, presenting a unified scheme for accretion-jet production throughout the different sub-classes of low-magnetic field NSs. Then, I will attempt to (make the first steps to) quantify the role of spin and magnetic field in powering the jet.
