Adaptive B cell responses in rituximab-treated diffuse large B cell lymphoma patients during complete remission.
Article in Tumour biology : the journal of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen. Treatment using rituximab in combination with chemotherapy has dramatically improved overall survival rate of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Since rituximab can deplete both lymphoma B cells and normal B cells, how rituximab-treatment affects normal B cell function in DLBCL patients under remission is unclear. Here, we examined peripheral blood B cell composition and antigen-specific B cell responses in DLBCL patients in remission and observed reductions in the frequencies of total B cell as well as several major B cell subsets, including CD19(+)IgD(+) naive B cells, CD19(+)IgD(-)CD27(+) memory B cells, and CD19(lo)CD27(hi) plasmablasts. Moreover, tetanus toxin (TT)-specific B cell proliferation was reduced in DLBCL patients in remission. On the other hand, HA-specific IgG-secreting B cell responses could be stimulated by influenza vaccination in DLBCL patients in remission, demonstrating that the machinery for generating de novo adaptive B cell responses was functional in DLBCL patients in remission. Our results provided insights in normal B cell function in DLBCL patients in remission.
