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

Leukosialin (also known as Ly48, CD43, and sialophorin) is a major cell surface sialoglycoprotein found on a variety of hematopoietically derived cells. The precise function of this molecule is poorly understood but it has been implicated in cell proliferation and intercellular adhesion. We developed a transgenic mouse model to assess leukosialin's function in vivo. Our approach was to alter mouse CD43 (mCD43) expression in the B-cell lineage where it is tightly regulated, by expressing it in peripheral B cells where it is normally absent. To drive expression of leukosialin in mature B cells, the immunoglobulin heavy chain enhancer was fused to the mCD43 gene. mCD43-immunoglobulin heavy chain enhancer transgenic mice display splenomegaly due to increased numbers of B cells. Transgenic B cells show a striking increase in their ability to survive in vitro compared to B cells from nontransgenic control mice. This prolonged survival is reflected in a decreased susceptibility to apoptosis. These observations suggest that mCD43 plays an important role in the regulation of B-cell survival. The alteration of the temporal expression, or "disregulation," of a gene in transgenic mice provides a general strategy for elucidating the in vivo role of other molecules involved in cell signaling and adhesion.
