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

Helper T cell induced plasma cells (PCs) that secrete class-switched neutralizing antibody are paramount to effective immunity. Following class-switch recombination (CSR), antigen-activated B cells differentiate into extrafollicular PCs or mature in germinal centers (GCs) to produce high-affinity memory B cells and follicular PCs. Many studies focus on the core transcriptional programs that drive central PC functions of longevity and antibody secretion. However, it is becoming clear that these central programs are further subdivided across antibody isotype with separable transcriptional trajectories. Divergent functions emerge at CSR, persist through PC terminal differentiation and further assort memory PC function following antigen recall. Here, we emphasize recent work that assorts divergent isotype-specific PC function across four major modules of immune protection.
