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

Activation-induced DNA cytidine deaminase (AID) is required for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and efficient class switch recombination (CSR) of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes. We created AID-transgenic mice that express AID ubiquitously under the control of a beta-actin promoter. When crossed with AID-/- mice, the AID-transgenic,AID-/- mice carried out SHM and CSR, showing that the AID transgenes were functional. However, the frequencies of SHM in V- and switch-regions, and CSR were reduced compared to those in a wild type AID background. Several criteria suggested that the inefficiency of SHM was due to reduced AID activity, rather than lack of recruiting error-prone DNA repair. High levels of AID mRNA were produced in resting B cells and kidney, cells that do not express AID in wild type mice. Compared with these cells, activated B cells expressed about an order of magnitude less AID mRNA suggesting that there may be a post-transcriptional mechanism that regulates AID mRNA levels in professional AID producers but not other cells. The AID protein expressed in resting B cells and kidney was phosphorylated at serine-38. Despite this modification, known to enhance AID activity, resting B cells did not undergo SHM. Apparently, the large amounts of AID in resting B cells are not targeted to Ig genes in vivo, in contrast to findings in vitro.
