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 isotype switch defect in CD40(-/-) mice is corrected by wild-type (WT) CD40 transgene, but not by a mutant CD40 transgene that does not bind tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors (TRAF) 2 and 3. To define the individual roles of TRAF2 and TRAF3 in CD40 activation of B cells, we introduced mutant CD40 transgenes that selectively lack the ability to bind TRAF2 (DeltaTR2), TRAF3 (DeltaTR3) or both (DeltaTR2,3) into B cells of CD40(-/-) mice. Serum IgG1 and IgE levels, IgG1 antibody response to sub-optimal doses of the T cell-dependent antigen keyhole limpet hemocyanin, germinal center formation, CD40-mediated proliferation, isotype switching and activation of the non-canonical NF-kappaB pathway were partially diminished in DeltaTR2 and DeltaTR3 mice and virtually absent in DeltaTR2,3 mice. These results suggest that TRAF2 and TRAF3 can each independently mediate class switch recombination (CSR) driven by CD40, but both are required for optimal CD40-driven isotype switching.
