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 transcription factor Pax5 activates genes essential for B-cell development and function. However, the regulation of Pax5 expression remains elusive. The adaptor Rack1 can interact with multiple transcription factors and modulate their activation and/or stability. However, its role in the transcriptional control of B-cell fates is largely unknown. Here, we show that CD19-driven Rack1 deficiency leads to pro-B accumulation and a simultaneous reduction in B cells at later developmental stages. The generation of bone marrow chimeras indicates a cell-intrinsic role of Rack1 in B-cell homeostasis. Moreover, Rack1 augments BCR and TLR signaling in mature B cells. On the basis of the aberrant expression of Pax5-regulated genes, including CD19, upon Rack1 deficiency, further exploration revealed that Rack1 maintains the protein level of Pax5 through direct interaction and consequently prevents Pax5 ubiquitination. Accordingly, Mb1-driven Rack1 deficiency almost completely blocks B-cell development at the pro-B-cell stage. Ectopic expression of Pax5 in Rack1-deficient pro-B cells partially rescues B-cell development. Thus, Rack1 regulates B-cell development and function through, at least partially, binding to and stabilizing Pax5.
