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

Upstream and downstream sequences of immunoglobulin genes may affect the expression of such genes. However, these sequences are rarely studied or characterized in most studies of immunoglobulin repertoires. Inference from large, rearranged immunoglobulin transcriptome data sets offers an opportunity to define the upstream regions (5'-untranslated regions and leader sequences). We have now established a new data pre-processing procedure to eliminate artifacts caused by a 5'-RACE library generation process, reanalyzed a previously studied data set defining human immunoglobulin heavy chain genes, and identified novel upstream regions, as well as previously identified upstream regions that may have been identified in error. Upstream sequences were also identified for a set of previously uncharacterized germline gene alleles. Several novel upstream region variants were validated, for instance by their segregation to a single haplotype in heterozygotic subjects. SNPs representing several sequence variants were identified from population data. Finally, based on the outcomes of the analysis, we define a set of testable hypotheses with respect to the placement of particular alleles in complex IGHV locus haplotypes, and discuss the evolutionary relatedness of particular heavy chain variable genes based on sequences of their upstream regions.
