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

Maintenance of immunological tolerance is crucial to prevent development of autoimmune disease. The production of autoantibodies is a hallmark of many autoimmune diseases and studies in mouse model systems suggest that inhibitory signaling molecules may be important checkpoints of humoral tolerance. By generating humanized mice with normal and functionally impaired Fcγ receptor IIB (FcγRIIB) variants, we show that the inhibitory Fcγ-receptor is a checkpoint of humoral tolerance in the human immune system in vivo. Impaired human FcγRIIB function resulted in the generation of higher levels of serum immunoglobulins, the production of different autoantibody specificities, and a higher proportion of human plasmablasts and plasma cells in vivo. Our results suggest that the inhibitory FcγRIIB may be an important checkpoint of humoral tolerance in the human immune system.
