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

By generating phosphorylcholine (PC)-specific, wild-type (mu), and chimeric (mu-I-A alpha) antigen receptor transfectants of mature B cells, we have shown that the COOH terminus of the mu heavy chain is essential for three major functions: immediate signal transduction (measured as changes in intracellular Ca2+), antigen presentation, and induction of immunoglobulin M secretion. A more detailed analysis of structural requirements of the COOH-terminal domains contributing to these functions was achieved by systematically replacing the spacer, cytoplasmic, and transmembranal domains of the mu-I-A alpha chimeric chain with those of mu. Using this rescue approach, we show that the carboxyl two-thirds of the transmembranal domain (proximal to the cytoplasmic domain) is required for induction of intracellular Ca2+, whereas the complete transmembranal domain is required for the function of antigen presentation but is dispensable for induction of antibody secretion.
