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

Basigin is a highly glycosylated transmembrane protein that is expressed in a broad range of tissues and is involved in a number of physiological and pathological processes. However, the in vivo role of basigin remains unknown. To better understand the physiological and pathological functions of basigin in vivo, we generated a conditional null allele by introducing two loxP sites flanking exons 2 and 7 of the basigin gene (Bsg). Bsg(fl/fl) mice were born at the expected Mendelian ratio and showed a similar growth rate compared with wildtype mice. After crossing these mice with Lck-Cre transgenic mice, basigin expression was specifically inactivated in T cells in the resulting Lck-Cre; Bsg(fl/fl) mice. Although the birth and growth rate of Lck-Cre; Bsg(fl/fl) mice were similar to control mice, thymus development was partially arrested in Lck-Cre; Bsg(fl/fl) mice, specifically at the CD4(+)CD8(+) double-positive (DP) and CD4 single-positive (CD4(+)CD8(-), CD4SP) stages. In addition, CD4(+) T cell activation was enhanced upon Concanavalin A (Con A) or anti-CD3/anti-CD28 stimulation but not upon PMA/Ionomycin stimulation in the absence of basigin. Overall, this study provided the first in vivo evidence for the function of basigin in thymus development. Moreover, the successful generation of the conditional null basigin allele provides a useful tool for the study of distinct physiological or pathological functions of basigin in different tissues at different development stages.
