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

Actin and actin polymerization factors regulate the immune system in a complex manner. The function in the cytoplasm has been well-established, where they are important components of the cytoskeleton, controlling cell migration, function, and vesicular transport. However, it remains poorly understood how they enter the nucleus to regulate immunological functions in B cells. Here, our study, through constructing a mouse model with specific WASH deletion in B cells, has shown that a deficiency of WASH leads to a decrease in BCR signaling and B cell metabolism, abnormal B cell differentiation, and a reduction of humoral response. Mechanistically, WASH interacts with pSTAT1 to promote the phosphorylation of STAT1, facilitating its translocation into the nucleus and regulating biological functions. Our study has unveiled the potential molecular mechanisms by which WASH influences B cell signaling, metabolism, and function through STAT1. These findings will offer potential avenues for therapeutic strategies targeting autoimmune diseases.
