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

In this study, we report the unique role of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (Alox5) in the regulation of specific humoral immune responses. We previously reported an L22 monoclonal antibody with which human primary resting B cells in the mantle zones of lymphoid follicles are well-defined. Proteomics analyses enabled identification of an L22 antigen as Alox5, which was highly expressed by naive and memory B cells surrounding germinal centers. Cellular growth of mantle cell lymphoma cells also seemed to depend on Alox5. Alox5(-/-) mice exhibited weak antibody responses specific to foreign antigens at the initial and recall phases. This was probably attributable to the low number of follicular and memory B cells and the functional loss of interleukin-21-mediated responses of follicular B cells. Moreover, Alox5(-/-) mice could not fully foster the development of follicular B helper T (Tfh) cells even after immunization with foreign antigens. Further experiments indicated that Alox5 affected mortality in experimentally induced enterocolitis in germ-prone circumstances, indicating that Alox5 would endow immunologic milieu. Our results illustrate the novel role of Alox5 in adaptive humoral immunity by managing primary B cells and Tfh cells in vivo.
