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

B-1a cells provide immediate and essential protection from infection through production of natural Ig, which is germline-like due to minimal insertion of N region additions. We have previously demonstrated peritoneal B-1a cell-derived phosphorylcholine-specific and total IgM moves away from germline (as evidenced by an increase in N-additions) with age as a result of selection. In young mice, anti-phosphatidylcholine Abs, like anti-phosphorylcholine Abs, contain few N-additions, and have been shown to be essential in protection from bacterial sepsis. In this study, we demonstrate the germline-like status of phosphatidylcholine (PtC)-specific (PtC
