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

Innate-like B-1a cells contribute significantly to circulating natural antibodies and mucosal immunity as well as to immunoregulation. Here we show that these classic functions of B-1a cells segregate between two unique subsets defined by expression of plasma cell alloantigen 1 (PC1), also known as ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1). These subsets, designated B-1a.PC1(lo) and B-1a.PC1(hi), differ significantly in IgH chain utilization. Adoptively transferred PC1(lo) cells secreted significantly more circulating natural IgM and intestinal IgA than PC1(hi) cells. In contrast, PC1(hi) cells produced more IL-10 than PC1(lo) cells when stimulated with LPS and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). PC1(hi) cells were also more efficient than PC1(lo) cells in regulating Th1 cell differentiation, even though both B-1a subsets were comparably active in stimulating T-cell proliferation. Furthermore, PC1(lo) cells generated antigen-specific IgM responses to pneumococcal polysaccharide antigens, whereas PC1(hi) cells do not. We found that PC1(lo) cells develop from an early wave of B-1a progenitors in fetal life, whereas PC1(hi) cells are generated from a later wave after birth. We conclude that identification of B-1a.PC1(lo) and B-1a.PC1(hi) cells extends the concept of a layered immune system with important implications for developing effective vaccines and promoting the generation of immunoregulatory B cells.
