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

We have identified circular DNAs containing the kappa light chain constant region (C kappa), as well as the excision products of V kappa-J kappa and V lambda-J lambda joining in adult mouse splenocytes. Analysis of C kappa-positive circular DNA clones revealed two recombination sites (intron recombining sequence [IRS]1 and -2) within the germline J kappa-C kappa intron region and the recombining sequence (RS) located downstream of the C kappa exon. While RS contains a conserved heptamer and nonamer separated by a 23-bp spacer on the 5' side, IRS1 sequence is an isolated heptamer without an obvious nonamer, and IRS2 contains a variant heptamer, CACAAAA. Since IRS1 and IRS2 recombined with both RS (23-bp spacer signal) and V kappa (12-bp spacer signal) with significant frequency, intron recombination sites seem to have dual recombination signals. These findings provide direct evidence that C kappa deletion preceding lambda gene rearrangement can occur by looping out and excision. Increased accessibility of inefficient recombinational loci within the intron may enable recombinase to accept wide signal sequence variation.
