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

Murine autoreactive anti-Smith (Sm) B cells are negatively regulated by anergy and developmental arrest, but are also positively selected into the marginal zone (MZ) and B-1 B-cell populations. Despite positive selection, anti-Sm production occurs only in autoimmune-prone mice. To investigate autoreactive B-cell activation, an anti-Sm transgene was combined with the lpr mutation, a mutation of the proapoptotic gene Fas (Fas(lpr)), on both autoimmune (MRL) and nonautoimmune backgrounds. Fas(lpr) induces a progressive and autoantigen-specific loss of anti-Sm MZ and B-1 B cells in young adult Fas(lpr) and MRL/Fas(lpr) mice that does not require that Fas(lpr) be B-cell intrinsic. This loss is accompanied by a bypass of the early pre-plasma cell (PC) tolerance checkpoint. Although the MRL bkg does not lead to a progressive loss of anti-Sm MZ or B-1 B cells, it induces a robust bypass of the early pre-PC tolerance checkpoint. Fas(lpr) mice have a high frequency of apoptotic lymphocytes in secondary lymphoid tissues and a macrophage defect in apoptotic cell phagocytosis. Since Sm is exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells, we propose that anti-Sm MZ and B-1 B-cell activation is the result of a Fas(lpr)-induced defect in apoptotic cell clearance.
