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

We have identified a rare healthy FcγRIIIB (CD16B)-null donor completely lacking FCGR3B RNA and protein expression and dissected the role of the different neutrophil Fcγ receptors in the response to therapeutic anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. We observed that polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) from FcγRIIIB wild-type (WT) individuals or the null donor were more effectively activated by chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B-cell targets opsonized with glycoengineered anti-CD20 antibodies compared with fully core-fucosylated anti-CD20 antibodies, suggesting the presence and role of FcγRIIIA (CD16A) on PMNs. Indeed, we demonstrated by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry, and western blot analysis that PMNs from FcγRIIIB WT donors and the null individual express low levels of FcγRIIIA on their surfaces. FcγRIIIA is a functional and activating molecule on these cells, because anti-CD16 F(ab')
