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

To elucidate the processes involved in development and activation of human follicular dendritic cells (FDC), immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin sections of fetal lymph nodes (FLN) obtained from archived autopsy material, and of adult reactive lymph nodes (ARLNs) excised for diagnostic purpose, using a panel of antibodies. Our study showed that tiny clusters of CNA.42(+ )KiM4p(+) cells, surrounded by some B-lymphocytes, initially arose in the cortical area of underdeveloped FLN around the 20th gestational week. No co-expression of CD21 and CD35 was found. In the relatively developed FLN of the same gestational age, small eddies of immature FDC, which expressed CD21, CD35, and nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR), as well as CNA.42 and KiM4p, were observed within ill-defined aggregations of B-lymphocytes. As gestation progressed, more B-lymphocytes assembled in a compact manner and formed primary lymphoid follicles containing an extending web of mature FDC, which expressed CNA.42, KiM4p, CD21, CD35, NGFR, and sometimes CD23 and X-11. In well-developed secondary follicles of ARLNs, activated FDC expressed additional molecules such as CD55, CD106, and S100alpha. Our observations identified the processes of phenotypic alteration of human FDC and established practical indicators determining their developmental stage and functional phase.
