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

We have studied the regulation of anti-DNA B cells in transgenic mice with a heavy chain transgene (3H9H/56R). This transgene codes for a heavy chain that forms anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibody when paired with most members of the endogenous Vkappa repertoire, but certain L chains, referred to as Vkappa editors, do not sustain dsDNA binding in combination with 3H9H/56R. In the nonautoimmune 3H9H/56R BALB/c, most B cells generated do not bind DNA because the transgene itself is edited or is associated with a Vkappa editor. A minor population of B cells (30%) bind dsDNA and express the lambda1 light chain (known to sustain 3H9H/56R DNA binding). These 3H9/56R/lambda1 B cells coexpress a kappa editor, and we propose that the down-regulation of the anti-DNA BCR caused by the dual L chain expression may prevent activation of this kappa/lambda population. These kappa/lambda B cells are sequestered in the marginal zone. Here, we studied the influence of autoimmunity on expression and regulation of 3H9H/56R. In 3H9H/56R MRL/lpr mice, the expression of anti-dsDNA is vastly accelerated. Anti-dsDNA B cells use noneditor kappas but, in addition, most anti-dsDNA B cells have edited the heavy chain transgene. lambda1 B cells (without the coexpression of a kappa editor) are found and the kappa/lambda1 MZ population is absent. Our results suggest that improper editing and failure to sequester autoreactive B cells may contribute to the breakdown of tolerance in MRL/lpr mice.
