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.

Abstract

objectiveTo investigate the role of CD86(high) marginal zone (MZ) precursor B cells in type I interferon (IFN)-induced T cell-dependent responses in autoimmune BXD2 mice.

methodsConfocal microscopic imaging was used to determine the location of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (DCs), MZ precursor B cells, and CD4 T cells in the spleens of BXD2 and BXD2-Ifnar(-/-) mice. Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine IgG(bright) cells in the spleens of BXD2 and BXD2-Ifnar(-/-) mice. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine serum levels of IFNα and autoantibodies, and 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylacetyl hapten (NP)-chicken γ-globulin (CGG) (NP-CGG)- or NP-Ficoll-induced anti-NP2 antibody titers. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the levels of type I IFN transcripts. T cell proliferation was measured using (3) H-thymidine. The expression of CD86 and CD80 was determined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis.

resultsThe deletion of type I IFN receptor abrogated the development of IgG(bright) cells and suppressed a T cell-dependent antibody response. Type I IFN signaling was associated with the expression of CD86, but not CD80, on follicular, MZ, and MZ precursor B cells. However, MZ precursor B cells demonstrated the highest expression of CD86 and the highest capacity for T cell costimulation with intact type I IFN receptor. This effect was blocked by an antibody that neutralizes CD86. In IFN receptor-intact BXD2 mouse spleens, MZ precursor B cells clustered at the T cell-B cell border. CD86 deletion suppressed germinal center formation, autoantibody production, and development of autoimmune diseases in BXD2 mice.

conclusionType I IFN can promote autoimmune responses in BXD2 mice through up-regulation of CD86(high) expression on MZ precursor B cells and trafficking of MZ precursor B cells to the T cell-B cell border to provide costimulation of CD4 T cells.
