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

B cells and B cell-derived autoantibodies play a central role in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases. Thus, depletion of B cells via monoclonal antibodies such as Rituximab is an obvious therapeutic intervention and has been used successfully in many instances. More recently, novel therapeutic options targeting either the autoantibody itself or resetting the threshold for B cell activation have become available and show promising immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects in a variety of animal models. The aim of this review is to summarize these results and to provide an insight into the underlying molecular and cellular pathways of these novel therapeutic interventions targeting autoantibodies and B cells and to discuss their value for human therapy.
