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

Antigen presentation by Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II molecules plays an important role in controlling immunity and autoimmunity. Multiple co-factors including the invariant chain (Ii), HLA-DM and HLA-DO are involved in this process. While the role for Ii and DM has been well defined, the biological function of DO remains obscure. Our data indicate that DO inhibits presentation of endogenous self-antigens and that developmentally-regulated DO expression enables antigen presenting cells to preferentially present different sources of peptide antigens at different stages of development. Disruption of this regulatory mechanism can result in not only immunodeficiency but also autoimmunity. Despite the fact that deletion of each of the three genes in experimental animals is associated with profound immunological abnormalities, no corresponding human diseases have been reported. This discrepancy suggests the possibility that primary immunodeficiencies due to a genetic defect of Ii, DM and DO in humans are under diagnosed or diagnosed as "common variable immunodeficiency", a category of immunodeficiency of heterogeneous or undefined etiology. Clinical tests for any of these potential genetic defects are not yet available. We propose the use of multi-color flow cytometry in conjunction with intracellular staining to detect expression of Ii, DM, DO in peripheral blood B cells as a convenient reliable screening test to identify individuals with defects in antigen presentation.
