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

IL-10 is a pleiotropic cytokine expressed during malaria, a disease characterized by short-lived, parasite-specific Ab responses. The role of IL-10 in regulating B cell responses during malaria is not known. In this study we report that IL-10 is essential for anti-Plasmodium humoral immunity. We identify that germinal center (GC) B cell reactions, isotype-switched Ab responses, parasite control, and host survival require B cell-intrinsic IL-10 signaling. IL-10 also indirectly supports humoral immunity by suppressing excessive IFN-γ, which induces T-bet expression in B cells. Genetic ablation of either IFN-γ signaling or T-bet expression in B cells substantially enhanced GC B cell responses and anti-Plasmodium Ab production. Together, our data show that B cell-intrinsic IL-10 enhances whereas B cell-intrinsic IFN-γ and T-bet suppress GC B cell responses and anti-Plasmodium humoral immunity. These data identify critical immunoregulatory circuits in B cells that may be targeted to promote long-lived humoral immunity and resistance to malaria.
