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

Several regulatory B-cell (Breg) subsets have been implicated in autoimmune diseases. We investigated Breg subsets in non-infectious uveitis (NIU) and in mouse models of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU). Blood samples from NIU patients with active disease (n = 13), in remission (n = 37) and healthy controls (n = 10) were immunophenotyped for CD19+CD24hiCD38lo memory B cells, CD19+CD24hiCD38hi-immature Bregs (iBregs), and CD19+CD38intCD24int-mature Bregs. In NIU, levels of peripheral blood iBregs and serum interleukin-10 (IL-10) were decreased in active disease vs. remission (P < .01). In quiescent NIU, iBregs were isolated and, when added at increasing ratios to autologous CD3+ T cells, downregulated T-cell proliferation. In an EAU model, at peak disease, CD19+CD1dhiCD5+ B10, CD19+CD5+ B1, CD19+CD21hiCD24hiCD23+ transitional two marginal-zone precursor (T2-MZP) and CD19+CD21hiCD23- marginal-zone B (MZB) Breg subsets were analysed both phenotypically and functionally. In EAU spleens, all Breg subsets investigated were detectable, but the IL-10-expressing B10-Breg subset was immunosuppressive and inversely correlated with disease severity (P = .048, R2 = 0.47). Blood-derived IL-10-expressing B10 and B1 Bregs were increased in both adjuvant controls and EAU but were significantly reduced in clinically milder EAU. In dissociated retinal cells, only the B10-Breg subset was detectable and increased in EAU. Selective Breg subsets may be immunosuppressive, with iBregs in NIU and IL-10-expressing B10 Bregs in EAU.
