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

Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) development requires interaction with the intestinal microbiota. Because murine secondary lymphoid tissue development is driven by positive feedback interactions between B cells and stromal cells, we used in situ hybridization to determine whether intestinal commensals influence such interactions during rabbit appendix development. The features of positive feedback interactions we examined (CXCL13 mRNA expression, B cell accumulation and FDC differentiation) increased during early follicle development, but stalled in the absence of intestinal commensals. These features were reinitiated by commensals that stimulated follicle development and intrafollicular B cell proliferation. Our results suggest that rabbit appendix follicles develop in two phases: an initial phase of B cell recruitment to nascent follicles, possibly through positive feedback interactions, and a subsequent phase of intrafollicular B cell proliferation stimulated by intestinal commensals. In addition, we found that intestinal commensals stimulate appendix CCL21 mRNA expression and T cell area formation.
