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 immunoglobulin heavy (Igh) chain locus is subject to precisely regulated processes, such as variable region gene formation through recombination of variable (V(H)), diversity (D(H)), and joining (J(H)) segments, class switching and somatic hypermutation. The 3' regulatory region (3' RR) is a key regulator of the Igh locus, and, as revealed by deletions in mouse plasma cell lines and mice, is required for IgH expression as well as class switching. One of the mechanisms by which the 3' RR regulates its targets is through long-range physical interactions. Such interactions between elements of the 3' RR and a target site in the IgH transcription unit have been detected in plasma cells, and in resting and switching B cells, where they have been associated with IgH expression and class switching, respectively. Here, we report that lentiviral shRNA knockdown of transcription factors, CTCF, Oct-2, or OBF-1/OCA-B, had no discernible defects in loop formation or H chain expression in plasma cells. J(H)-3' RR interactions in pre-B cell lines were specifically associated with IgH expression. J(H)-3' RR interactions were not detected in either Pax5-deficient or RAG-deficient pro-B cells, but were apparent in an Abelson-derived pro-B cell line. These observations imply that the 3' RR has different loop interactions with target Igh sequences at different stages of B cell development and Igh regulation.
