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 a biphasic, ovalbumin (OVA)-induced murine asthma model where allergic airway disease is followed by resolution and the development of local inhalational tolerance (LIT), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β-expressing CD5(+) B cells were selectively expanded locally in hilar lymph nodes (HLN) of LIT mice. LIT HLN CD5(+) B cells, but not LIT HLN CD5(-) B cells, induced expression of Foxp3 in CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells in vitro. These CD5(+) regulatory B cells (Breg) and CD4(+)Foxp3(+) T cells demonstrated similar increases in expression of chemokine receptors (CXCR4 and CXCR5) and co-localized in HLN B cell zones of LIT mice. The adoptive transfer of LIT HLN CD5(+) B cells, but not LIT HLN CD5(-) B cells, increased the number of CD4(+)Foxp3(+) T cells in the lung and inhibited airway eosinophilia in this OVA model. Thus, Breg in HLNs of LIT mice reside in a CD5(+) TGF-β-producing subpopulation and co-localize with CD4(+)Foxp3(+) T cells.
