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

backgroundTNFRSF13B, which encodes transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor (TACI), is mutated in 10% of patients with common variable immunodeficiency. One of the 2 most common TACI mutations in common variable immunodeficiency, C104R, abolishes ligand binding and is found predominantly in the heterozygous state. The murine TACI mutant C76R is the equivalent of the human TACI mutant C104R.

objectiveWe sought to define the consequence of the C76R mutation on TACI function in mice that express both wild-type TACI and the murine C76R mutant.

methodsTransgenic mice that express murine TACI C76R, the counterpart of human TACI C104R, on the TACI(+/-) B6/129 background (C76R/TACI(+/-) mice) were constructed. Serum immunoglobulins and antibody responses to the type II T-independent antigen trinitrophenylated (TNP)-Ficoll were determined by means of ELISA. B-cell proliferation in response to a proliferation-inducing ligand was determined based on tritiated thymidine incorporation into DNA. IgG1 secretion by B cells in response to a proliferation-inducing ligand plus IL-4 was determined by means of ELISA.

resultsC76R/TACI(+/-) mice had significantly impaired antibody responses to the type II T-independent antigen TNP-Ficoll compared with TACI(+/+) B6/129 control animals, and their B cells were impaired in their capacity to proliferate and secrete IgG1 in response to TACI ligation. Unexpectedly, TACI(+/-) mice had similarly impaired B-cell function as C76R/TACI(+/-) littermates. Impaired TACI function caused by haploinsufficiency was confirmed in TACI(+/-) mice on the C57BL/6 background.

conclusionThese results suggest that the human TACI mutant C104R might impair TACI function in heterozygotes through haploinsufficiency.
