AID: a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
Review in Immunologic research, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
To combat the ever-changing pool of pathogens we face, B cells generate highly optimized antibodies in two distinct steps. A large variety of antibodies are first generated randomly by V(D)J recombination, and then, upon encountering an antigen, antibodies are fine-tuned by somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination--both of which are initiated by the same protein, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). All three processes are highly mutagenic, and mistargeting of each of these has been shown to contribute to tumorigenesis. We study these processes because they provide an excellent model to understand how highly mutagenic reactions are channeled into productive use by cells and the consequent risk this carries. In this review, we will discuss many of the outstanding questions in the field that we grapple with while developing a consistent model for AID action. We will also discuss the complexity added to these models by the recent finding that AID might be part of a demethylase complex.
