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

On the basis of somatic hypermutation status of their B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) genes, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients can be divided into unmutated CLL (U-CLL) or mutated CLL (M-CLL). Approximately 30% of CLL patients express a stereotypic BCR, which may indicate that specific antigenic stimulation is driving CLL pathogenesis. Recently, it was reported that BCRs from CLL cells are capable of antigen-independent, cell-autonomous signaling, through recognition of an internal framework 2 (FR2) BCR epitope. We hypothesized that the level of cell-autonomous signaling may differ between CLL subgroups. Therefore, we analyzed Ca(2+) signaling in a series of primary stereotypic or heterogeneous U-CLL and M-CLL (n=68) and healthy controls (n=14). We confirmed that basal Ca(2+) signaling in CLL cells is higher than in normal B cells. Interestingly, we found that basal signaling was particularly increased in M-CLL. The degree of basal signaling did not correlate with membrane immunoglobulin levels, HCDR3 characteristics or FR2/FR3 sequence. We conclude that the level of basal Ca(2+) signaling is not uniformly enhanced in CLL B cells, but is associated with CLL immunoglobulin heavy chain V mutational status, reflecting a distinct cellular origin and possibly a different anergic state induced by repetitive or continuous antigen binding in vivo.
