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

Ab-secreting plasma cells (PCs) are the effectors of humoral immunity. In this study, we describe regulation of autoreactive B cells specific for the ribonucleoprotein Smith (Sm) at an early pre-PC stage. These cells are defined by the expression of the PC marker CD138 and normal levels of CD19 and B220. They are present at a high frequency in normal mouse spleen and bone marrow, are Ag dependent, and are located predominantly along the T cell-B cell border and near bridging channels. Anti-Sm pre-PCs also occur at a high frequency in nonautoimmune mice and show additional phenotypic characteristics of PC differentiation. However, while some of these pre-PCs are Ab-secreting cells, those specific for Sm are not, indicating regulation. Consistent with this, anti-Sm pre-PCs have a higher turnover rate and higher frequency of cell death than those that do not bind Sm. Regulation of anti-Sm pre-PCs occurs upstream of the transcriptional repressor, B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1, expression. Regulation at this stage is overcome in autoimmune MRL/lpr mice and is accompanied by an altered B lymphocyte stimulator receptor profile. These data reveal a new B cell tolerance checkpoint that is overcome in autoimmunity.
