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

These studies investigated the mechanism by which interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) inhibits the interleukin-7 (IL-7)-dependent proliferation of BALB/c bone marrow B-cell precursors in vitro. Low concentrations (1 U/ml) of recombinant murine IFN-gamma (rmIFN-gamma) caused a approximately 80% suppression of IL-7 colony-forming units (CFU) formation in semi-solid media, in part through a direct affect on isolated B220+ pre-B cells. IFN-gamma did not induce apoptosis in small resting pre-B cells in BALB/c bone marrow. There was no difference in the proportion of apoptotic B220+ pre-B cells in IFN-gamma-treated cultures compared to cultures treated with IL-7 alone. However, IL-7-responsive pre-B cells generated from bone marrow had a 30-50% loss in cells in S+G2/M phases of the cell cycle and an increase of up to twice as many in apoptotic cells within 48 hr of exposure to IFN-gamma. Notably, expression of the tyrosine phosphatase B220 was increased in the IFN-gamma-treated pre-B cells. Interestingly, although there was no substantial change in IL-7 receptor mRNA expression upon IFN-gamma treatment, a small decrease in binding of biotinylated IL-7 to IFN-gamma-treated pre-B cells was observed. These results suggest that IFN-gamma inhibits IL-7 responsiveness in pre-B cells, resulting in a subtle down-regulation of IL-7 binding, inhibition of proliferation and, ultimately, apoptosis.
