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

In developing B cells, expression of surface immunoglobulin is an important signal to terminate recombinase activator gene (RAG) expression and V(D)J recombination. However, autoreactive antigen receptors instead promote continued gene rearrangement and receptor editing. The regulation by B cell receptor (BCR) signaling of RAG expression and editing is poorly understood. We report that in editing-competent cells BCR ligand-induced RAG mRNA expression is regulated at the level of RAG transcription, rather than mRNA stability. In immature B cells carrying innocuous receptors, RAG expression appears to be under rapidly reversible negative regulation. Studies involving transduction of a superrepressive (sr) I kappa B alpha protein indicate that NF-kappaB/Rel proteins promote RAG transcription. Interestingly, NF kappa B1-deficient cells overexpress RAG and undergo an exaggerated receptor editing response. Our data implicate NF kappa B transcription factors in the BCR-mediated regulation of RAG locus transcription. Rapidly activated NF kappa B pathways may facilitate prompt antigen receptor-regulated changes in RAG expression important for editing and haplotype exclusion.
