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

The demand for a vaccine for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) highlighted gaps in our understanding of the requirements for B cell responses to antigens, particularly to membrane-presented antigens, as occurs in vivo. We found that human B cell responses to membrane-presented antigens required the function of Piezo1, a plasma membrane mechanosensitive cation channel. Simply making contact with a glass probe induced calcium (Ca
