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

The production of high-affinity antibody is essential for pathogen clearance. Antibody affinity is increased through germinal center (GC) affinity maturation, which relies on BCR somatic hypermutation (SHM) followed by antigen-based selection. GC B cell proliferation is essentially involved in these processes; it provides enough templates for SHM and also serves as a critical mechanism of positive selection. In this study, we show that expression of epigenetic regulator ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1 (Uhrf1) was markedly up-regulated by c-Myc-AP4 in GC B cells, and it was required for GC response. Uhrf1 regulates cell proliferation-associated genes including
