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

Somatic mutations of immunoglobulin genes characterize mature memory B cells, and intraclonal B-cell diversification is typically associated with expansion of B-cell clones with greater affinity for antigen (antigen drive). Evidence for a role of antigen in progression of intraclonal chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cell diversification in patients with mutated immunoglobulin genes has not been previously presented. We performed a single-cell analysis of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains in 6 patients with somatically mutated CLL-cell immunoglobulin genes and identified 2 patients with multiple related (oligoclonal) subgroups of CLL cells. We constructed genealogic trees of these oligoclonal CLL-cell subgroups and assessed the effects of immunoglobulin somatic mutations on the ratios of replacement and silent amino acid changes in the framework and antigen-binding regions (CDRs) of the immunoglobulin heavy and light chains from each oligoclonal CLL-cell population. In one subject, the amino acid changes were consistent with an antigen-driven progression of clonally related CLL-cell populations. In the other subject, intraclonal diversification was associated with immunoglobulin amino acid changes that would have likely lessened antigen affinity. Taken together, these studies support the hypothesis that in some CLL cases intraclonal diversification is dependent on antigen interactions with immunoglobulin receptors.
