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

Generation of memory B cells is one of the key features of adaptive immunity as they respond rapidly to re-exposure to the antigen and generate functional antibodies. Although the functions of memory B cells are becoming clearer, the regulation of memory B cell generation and maintenance is still not well understood. Here we found that transcription factor SpiB is expressed in some germinal center (GC) B cells and memory B cells and participates in the maintenance of memory B cells. Overexpression and knockdown analyses revealed that SpiB suppresses plasma cell differentiation by suppressing the expression of Blimp1 while inducing Bach2 in the
