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

Purpose: The co-inhibitory receptor B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator (BTLA) negatively regulates B and T cell activation. We have previously shown an altered BTLA expression by regulatory T cells and an impaired capacity of BTLA to inhibit CD4 Methods: BTLA expression and function were analyzed in young (10-12-week-old) and old-diseased NZB/W mice (>35-week-old with proteinuria) in comparison to age-related BALB/W control mice. 20-22 weeks old NZB/W mice (n=10) were injected i.p with 3 mg/kg, twice a week for ten weeks, with the anti-BTLA antibody 6F7 or its isotype control. Results: In old-diseased NZB/W mice, BTLA expression is slightly modified in B cell subsets whereas CD4 Conclusion: Overall, our data confirm the involvement of BTLA in lupus pathogenesis and provide the first evidence that BTLA is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of lupus.
