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

Development of inhibitors remains a major clinical complication in patients with hemophilia A receiving replacement therapy with factor VIII (FVIII). Understanding the immune mechanisms involved in the development of inhibitors can provide valuable information about pathways to human tolerance. Recent evidence indicates that B regulatory (Breg) cells play a pivotal role in controlling the production of antibodies (Abs) while promoting follicular T helper (Tfh) cells and monocytes, expressing the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP/CD91), which is involved in FVIII intake from the circulation. We studied circulating levels of Breg cells along with Tfh cells and the expression of LRP/CD91 on monocytes in patients with hemophilia A using 8-color flow cytometry and cell culture. Compared to healthy controls, patients with hemophilia A with inhibitors showed a severe reduction in levels of Breg cells and produced less interleukin-10 when activated via the CD40 signaling pathway. In addition, patients with hemophilia A with inhibitors exhibited an overexpression of LPR/CD91 on monocytes and normal levels of Tfh cells. Levels of Breg cells were not significantly related to LPR/CD91 although negative associations were evidenced. Collectively, these results provide new insights into the role of Breg cells and LPR/CD91 in the development of inhibitors in patients with hemophilia A.
