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

BLyS and its major receptor BAFF-R have been shown to be critical for development and homeostasis of normal B lymphocytes, and for cell growth and survival of neoplastic B lymphocytes, but the biologic mechanisms of this ligand/receptor-derived intracellular signaling pathway(s) have not been completely defined. We have discovered that the BAFF-R protein was present in the cell nucleus, in addition to its integral presence in the plasma membrane and cytoplasm, in both normal and neoplastic B cells. BAFF-R interacted with histone H3 and IKKbeta in the cell nucleus, enhancing histone H3 phosphorylation through IKKbeta. Nuclear BAFF-R was also associated with NF-kappaB/c-Rel and bound to NF-kappaB targeted promoters including BLyS, CD154, Bcl-xL, IL-8, and Bfl-1/A1, promoting the transcription of these genes. These observations suggested that in addition to activating NF-kappaB pathways in the plasma membrane, BAFF-R also promotes normal B-cell and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL-B) survival and proliferation by functioning as a transcriptional regulator through a chromatin remodeling mechanism(s) and NF-kappaB association. Our studies provide an expanded conceptual view of the BAFF-R signaling, which should contribute a better understanding of the physiologic mechanisms involved in normal B-cell survival and growth, as well as in the pathophysiology of aggressive B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases.
