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

The immunoglobulin kappa light chain intronic enhancer (iEkappa) activates kappa rearrangement and is required to maintain the earlier or more efficient rearrangement of kappa versus lambda (lambda). To understand the mechanism of how iEkappa regulates kappa rearrangement, we employed homologous recombination to mutate individual functional motifs within iE(kappa) in the endogenous kappa locus, including the NF-kappaB binding site (kappaB), as well as kappaE1, kappaE2, and kappaE3 E boxes. Analysis of the impacts of these mutations revealed that kappaE2 and to a lesser extent kappaE1, but not kappaE3, were important for activating kappa rearrangement. Surprisingly, mutation of the kappaB site had no apparent effect on kappa rearrangement. Comparable to the deletion of the entire iEkappa, simultaneous mutation of kappaE1 and kappaE2 reduces the efficiency of kappa rearrangement much more dramatically than either kappaE1 or kappaE2 mutation alone. Because E2A family proteins are the only known factors that bind to these E boxes, these findings provide unambiguous evidence that E2A is a key regulator of kappa rearrangement.
