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 somatic hypermutation (SHM) of Immunoglobulin variable (V) regions is a key process in the generation of antibody diversity. The growing number of datasets of point mutations that occur during SHM in mice and humans often include comparisons between wild-type and individuals or strains genetically defective in the repair mechanisms that contribute to SHM. However, it has been difficult to compare the results of different studies because the analyses have not been standardized for criteria such as correction for base composition and the inclusion of unique mutations. If many mutations are involved, the analysis can also be time consuming. To overcome these problems and facilitate a standardized analysis and display of similar data, we present a webserver (SHMTool) for comparing SHM datasets, available at http://scb.aecom.yu.edu/shmtool.
