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

Many fish have, in addition to IgM and IgD, a third isotype called IgZ or IgT. The ζ-chain locus is embedded among the Ig heavy chain V-, D- and J-elements in a manner reminiscent of the TcR δ/α locus. Isotype selection thus occurs during VDJ recombination, a process that is facilitated by intralocus transcription. Using in silico analyses and enhancer reporter vectors we identified 3 new regions within the zebrafish IgH locus through which transcription can be activated in catfish B-cell lines. Two of these, termed Eζi (Jζ to Cζ1 intronic) and Eζ3' regions flank the ζ-chain constant domain exons. A third region, Eδ3', resides downstream of the δ-chain exons. All regions contain predicted binding sites for transcription factors that contribute to B-cell specific transcription in fish and mammals. Each region also has proximal matrix attachment regions, which may further contribute to transcriptional activation and chromatin remodeling. We discuss possible roles for these regions during VDJ recombination.
