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

The immunomodulatory receptor CD300a is expressed on human B cells. Naive B cells express very low levels of this receptor, whereas memory B cells and plasmablasts/cells express variable levels of CD300a. Germinal center B cells are negative for CD300a expression. Stimulation of naive B cells via B-cell receptor (BCR) and Toll-like receptor 9, along with T-cell help, failed to up-regulate CD300a cell surface expression despite the increased expression of the memory marker CD27 and the down-regulation of CD305. However, Toll-like receptor 9 stimulation alone significantly increased CD300a expression on memory B cells, whereas interleukin-4 and transforming growth factor-β1 act as negative regulators of CD300a expression on memory B cells. Coligation of BCR and CD300a inhibits Ca(2+) mobilization and nuclear factor of activated T cell transcriptional activity evoked by BCR ligation alone. Suppression of CD300a expression in primary B cells with siRNA resulted in increased BCR-mediated proliferation, thereby confirming the inhibitory capacity of CD300a. Finally, we show that CD300a expression levels are significantly down-regulated in the circulating B cells of HIV-infected patients. Altogether, these data demonstrate a novel mechanism for suppressing the activity of B cells and suggest a potential role for CD300a in the B-cell dysfunction observed in HIV-induced immunodeficiency.
