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

The appearance of autoantibodies in autoimmune diseases such as lupus suggests that B-cell tolerance to self is breached. Hence it becomes important to unravel the precise cellular and molecular mechanisms that are responsible for violations in various B-cell tolerance checkpoints in autoimmune diseases. B-cell immunoglobulin or B-cell receptor transgenic models have been of immense aid in uncovering many of these key tolerance checkpoints during normal B-cell development. By breeding these transgenic models onto mice that are engineered to lack or hyperexpress various B-cell molecules, including signaling intermediates, researchers have delineated the role of these molecules in B-cell tolerance. These transgenic models have also been useful in delineating the impact of various lupus prone genomes and lupus susceptibility loci on B-cell tolerance. This review focuses on some of the more well-studied B-cell receptor transgenic models and the lessons they have taught us over the past two decades.
