Do human B-lymphocytes avoid aging until 60 years?
Article in Oncotarget, 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
Broad changes in human innate and adaptive immunity are associated with advanced age. The age-related alteration of gene expression was reported for both T and B lymphocytes. We analysed the genome-wide expression profiles (n=20) of naive and whole B cell populations from young and early aged healthy donors under 60 years. We revealed large homogeneity of all analysed genome-wide expression profiles but did not identified any significant gene deregulation between young (30-45 years) and early aged healthy donors (50-60 years). We argue that B cells avoid the aging program on molecular level until 60 years of age. Our results demonstrate the potential of hematopoietic stem cells to generate uncompromised lymphocytes in early elderly. These are very encouraging findings for the general health and the immunity maintenance would not need any intervention to naive B cells. Rather, a suitable immune stimulation in healthy body environment warrants further research into aging of older elderly.
