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

Objective: To analyze the reconstitution patterns of fine B-cell subsets in patients following treatment with the CD20 monoclonal antibody ofatumumab and the CD19 monoclonal antibody inebilizumab, and to evaluate the clinical application value of individualized fine B-cell subset dynamic profiling in guiding targeted therapy strategies. Methods: This prospective study enrolled 30 patients with pemphigus receiving ofatumumab and 26 patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) receiving inebilizumab at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between October 2023 and May 2025. Thirty healthy individuals were enrolled as controls for baseline comparison. Dynamic monitoring of fine B-cell subsets, anti-desmoglein (Dsg) antibodies, and immunoglobulins was performed at three post-treatment time points (1 month, 3 months, and 6 months). A natural cubic spline model was used to fit trend curves, combined with differential analysis to assess population-level immune reconstitution. Results: At baseline (T0), patients in the pemphigus group had higher levels of several B-cell subsets compared to healthy controls. Total B-cell counts were 347.50 (250.40-621.8) cells/μL versus 217.50 (143.50-275.30) cells/μL, memory B-cell counts were 127.30 (74.63-196.70) cells/μL versus 57.00 (41.75-88.25) cells/μL, and plasmablast counts were 5.63 (2.02-11.48) cells/μL versus 1.00 (1.00-2.00) cells/μL. These differences were significant ( Conclusion: Targeted therapies against CD19 and CD20 induce distinctly different patterns of B-cell reconstitution. Ofatumumab treatment leads to a phased regenerative process in B cells, whereas inebilizumab treatment results in delayed regeneration. Increased plasmablasts, aberrant memory B-cell proliferation, and rebounding Dsg antibodies may signal potential adverse events. These findings support monitoring fine B-cell subsets for precise immunological assessment to guide personalized treatment.
