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

Pax5 is an alternatively spliced transcription factor that regulates B cell development and activation. The function of specific Pax5 isoforms is unknown. Here we report the existence of seven alternatively spliced isoforms of Pax5 in the rainbow trout. We hypothesized that B cells differentially express specific Pax5 isoforms as a means of modulating Pax5 activity during cell maturation. Flow cytometric analyses using Pax5-specific antibodies recognizing the paired domain, a central (exon 6-encoding) domain, or the C-terminus, revealed the existence of distinct Pax5-expressing cell populations in trout immune tissues. Additionally, using the transcription factor EBF, we show that Pax5 isoforms lacking a paired domain are already expressed at the earliest stages of trout (B) lymphopoiesis, and unexpectedly, that minor populations of such cells reside in blood and spleen. These data support use of differentially expressed Pax5 isoforms to identify novel B cell subsets in the form of Pax5 tissue signatures, and as such, provides new biomarkers for malignancy, infectious disease, and disease resistance in trout and humans.
