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

backgroundMemory B cells are an antigen-experienced B-cell population with the ability to rapidly differentiate into antibody-producing cells by recall responses. We recently found that dedicator of cytokinesis 11 (DOCK11) contributes to the expansion of antigen-specific populations among germinal center B cells upon immunization. In comparison, limited information is available on the contribution of DOCK11 to secondary humoral immune responses.

resultsIn this study, effects of the DOCK11 deficiency in B cells were examined on secondary immune responses to protein antigen. The lack of DOCK11 in B cells resulted in the impaired induction of antibody-producing cells upon secondary immunization with protein antigen. DOCK11 was dispensable for the recall responses of antigen-experienced B cells, as demonstrated by the comparable induction of antibody-producing cells in mice given transfer of antigen-experienced B cells with no DOCK11 expression. Instead, the lack of DOCK11 in B cells resulted in the impaired secondary immune responses in a B cell-extrinsic manner, which was recovered by the adoptive transfer of cognate T cells.

conclusionsWe addressed that intrinsic and extrinsic effects of DOCK11 expression in B cells may contribute to secondary humoral immune responses in manner of the induction of cognate T-cell help.
