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

backgroundBusulfan treatment as a chemotherapeutic agent has been considered an alternative approach in xenograft model because it offers a simple, convenient, effective, and less toxic conditioning regimen. OBJECTIVE AND

methodsTo investigate busulfan effects on the reconstitution of human immune cells and the generation of immune response to foreign antigens, we generated humanized NOD/SCID/IL-2Rγ(null) (NSG) mice conditioned either busulfan or total body irradiation (TBI) with hCD34(+) CB cells.

resultsBusulfan resulted in a high survival rate and effective reconstitution of human immune cells including B, T, macrophage, and dendritic cells in humanized NSG mice, compared to that of TBI. Moreover, the humanized NSG mice conditioned busulfan showed effective B cell development and thereby the high production of human antibody against immunized antigen.

conclusionHumanized mice conditioned by busulfan provide a powerful and versatile tool for studying the entire process of human B-lymphocyte development and for producing specific human antibodies.
