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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligands are known to suppress antibody production. However, it remains unclear whether this suppression translates into altered antibody-mediated Fcγ receptor signaling in human cells. This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms by which AHR ligands regulate antibody production and antibody-triggered responses in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

methodsPBMCs were isolated from blood obtained from anonymous healthy donors. PBMCs were stimulated with pokeweed mitogen (PWM) to induce IgG1 production or Strept-Biotin IgG1/IgG2 immune complexes to induce antibody-triggered signaling. Before any stimulation, cells were pretreated with vehicle (0.01% DMSO) or AHR ligands TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin), ITE (2-(1H-indol-3-ylcarbonyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid methyl ester), or FICZ (6-formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole), or the proligand I3C (indole-3-carbinol).

resultsOur data revealed that PWM stimulation significantly increased

conclusionsOverall, these findings demonstrate that AHR activation by TCDD suppressed antibody production and IgG-mediated immune signaling in human PBMCs.
