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

Antigen-specific B cells play a crucial role in the long-term immune response following infection or vaccination, differentiating into antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) and memory B cells (MBCs). However, profiling ASCs is challenging primarily due to their lack of membrane-bound surface B cell receptors. In this study, the Modular Superhydrophobic Microwell Array Chip (MoSMAR-chip) is introduced as a versatile, cost-effective, and high-throughput platform for identifying and characterizing individual antigen-specific ASCs and MBCs at the single-cell level within seven days. Using this platform, comprehensive analyses of single ASCs could be performed from bone marrows of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine-immunized mice and a diverse set of antibodies capable of neutralizing the highly divergent JN1 variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were identified. These results demonstrate that the MoSMAR-chip facilitates efficient single-cell multi-omics and functional analyses of antigen-specific ASCs, offering a powerful tool for investigating complex long-term B cell immunity in diverse clinical conditions, such as infectious diseases, autoimmunity, and beyond.
