Rate of Immune Complex Cycling in Follicular Dendritic Cells Determines the Extent of Protecting Antigen Integrity and Availability to Germinal Center B Cells.
Article in Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) retain immune complexes (ICs) for prolonged time periods and are important for germinal center (GC) reactions. ICs undergo periodic cycling in FDCs, a mechanism supporting an extended half-life of Ag. Based on experimental data, we estimated that the average residence time of PE-ICs on FDC surface and interior were 21 and 36 min, respectively. GC simulations show that Ag cycling might impact GC dynamics because of redistribution of Ag on the FDC surface and by protecting Ag from degradation. Ag protection and influence on GC dynamics varied with Ag cycling time and total Ag concentration. Simulations predict that blocking Ag cycling terminates the GC reaction and decreases plasma cell production. Considering that cycling of Ag could be a target for the modulation of GC reactions, our findings highlight the importance of understanding the mechanism and regulation of IC cycling in FDCs.
