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

backgroundInnate and adaptive immune cells play important roles in the pathogenesis of hypertension. B cells play a crucial role in mammalian adaptive immunity via processing antigens and producing antibodies. However, whether B cells and immunoglobulins are involved in regulating blood pressure in hypertension remains unclear. We aimed to reveal the protective role and the potential immunoregulatory mechanisms of B1a cells in hypertension.

methodsWild-type and CD19 knockout (CD19

resultsWe found that the frequency of B1a cells was reduced in the blood and peritoneal cavity in wild-type mice after Ang II infusion. We showed that CD19

conclusionsOur data demonstrated that B1a cells play a protective role in the development of hypertension via producing natural IgM and inhibiting IFNγ production by CD4+T cells.
