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

When B cells are exposed to antigens, they use their B-cell receptors (BCRs) to transduce this external signal into internal signaling cascades and uptake antigen, which activate transcriptional programs. Signaling activation requires complex cytoskeletal remodeling initiated by BCR signaling. The actin cytoskeletal remodeling drives B-cell morphological changes, such as spreading, protrusion, contraction, and endocytosis of antigen by mechanical forces, which in turn affect BCR signaling. Therefore, the relationship between the actin cytoskeleton and BCR signaling is a two-way feedback loop. These morphological changes represent the indirect ways by which the actin cytoskeleton regulates BCR signaling. Recent studies using high spatiotemporal resolution microscopy techniques have revealed that actin also can directly influence BCR signaling. Cortical actin networks directly affect BCR mobility, not only during the resting stage by serving as diffusion barriers, but also at the activation stage by altering BCR diffusivity through enhanced actin flow velocities. Furthermore, the actin cytoskeleton, along with myosin, enables B cells to sense the physical properties of its environment and generate and transmit forces through the BCR. Consequently, the actin cytoskeleton modulates the signaling threshold of BCR to antigenic stimulation. This review discusses the latest research on the relationship between BCR signaling and actin remodeling, and the research techniques. Exploration of the role of actin in BCR signaling will expand fundamental understanding of the relationship between cell signaling and the cytoskeleton and the mechanisms underlying cytoskeleton-related immune disorders and cancer.
