Prior immunization against an intracellular antigen enhances subsequent red blood cell alloimmunization in mice.
Article in Blood, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
Antibodies against red blood cell (RBC) alloantigens can increase morbidity and mortality among transfusion recipients. However, alloimmunization rates can vary dramatically, as some patients never generate alloantibodies after transfusion, whereas others not only become alloimmunized but may also be prone to generating additional alloantibodies after subsequent transfusion. Previous studies suggested that CD4 T-cell responses that drive alloantibody formation recognize the same alloantigen engaged by B cells. However, because RBCs express numerous antigens, both internally and externally, it is possible that CD4 T-cell responses directed against intracellular antigens may facilitate subsequent alloimmunization against a surface RBC antigen. Here, we show that B cells can acquire intracellular antigens from RBCs. Using a mouse model of donor RBCs expressing 2 distinct alloantigens, we demonstrate that immune priming to an intracellular antigen, which would not be detected by any currently used RBC compatibility assays, can directly influence alloantibody formation after exposure to a subsequent distinct surface RBC alloantigen. These findings suggest a previously underappreciated mechanism whereby transfusion recipient responders may exhibit an increased rate of alloimmunization because of prior immune priming toward intracellular antigens.
