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

backgroundAnti-Jo-1 autoantibodies which recognize histidyl-tRNA synthetase identify patients with the rare rheumatologic disease, anti-histidyl-tRNA synthetase syndrome (Jo-1 ARS), a phenotypically distinct subset of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Jo-1-binding B cells (JBCs) are implicated in disease pathogenesis, yet they have not been studied directly. We therefore aimed to characterize JBCs to better understand how they expand and function in Jo-1 ARS.

methodsWe enrolled 10 IIM patients diagnosed with Jo-1 ARS, 4 patients with non-Jo-1 IIM, and 8 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. We phenotypically characterized peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) ex vivo using flow cytometry to define the B cell subsets in which JBCs reside. We further tested their ability to differentiate into antibody-secreting cells following stimulation in vitro.

resultsThe majority of JBCs were IgM

conclusionsJBCs are enriched for autoimmune-prone CD21
