Excess CD40L does not rescue anti-DNA B cells from clonal anergy.
Article in F1000Research, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
CD40L, a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family, is overexpressed in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and in lupus mouse models. Previously, we demonstrated that B cells producing pathogenic anti-Sm/RNP antibodies are deleted in the splenic marginal zone (MZ), and that MZ deletion of these self-reactive B cells is reversed by excess CD40L, leading to autoantibody production. To address whether excess CD40L also perturbs clonal anergy, another self-tolerance mechanism of B cells whereby B cells are functionally inactivated and excluded from follicles in the peripheral lymphoid tissue, we crossed CD40L-transgenic mice with the anti-DNA H chain transgenic mouse line 3H9, in which Ig λ1+ anti-DNA B cells are anergized. However, the percentage and localization of Ig λ1+ B cells in CD40L/3H9 double transgenic mice were no different from those in 3H9 mice. This result indicates that excess CD40L does not perturb clonal anergy, including follicular exclusion. Thus, MZ deletion is distinct from clonal anergy, and is more liable to tolerance break.
