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 mammalian Brg1/Brm-associated factor (BAF) complexes are major regulators of nucleosomal remodeling that are commonly mutated in several cancers, including germinal center (GC)-derived B cell lymphomas. However, the specific roles of different BAF complexes in GC B cell biology are not well understood. Here we show that the AT-rich interaction domain 1a (Arid1a) containing canonical BAF (cBAF) complex is required for maintenance of GCs and high-affinity antibody responses. While Arid1a-deficient B cells undergo initial activation, they fail to sustain the GC program. Arid1a establishes permissive chromatin landscapes for B cell activation and is concomitantly required to suppress inflammatory gene programs. The inflammatory signatures instigated by Arid1a deficiency promoted the recruitment of neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes. Dampening of inflammatory cues through interleukin-1β blockade or glucocorticoid receptor agonist partially rescued Arid1a-deficient GCs, highlighting a critical role for inflammation in impeding GCs. Our work reveals essential functions of Arid1a-dependent cBAF in promoting efficient GC responses.
