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

Regulatory B cells (Bregs) contribute to immune homeostasis via IL-10-dependent and independent pathways. To dissect additional mediators, we investigated splenic derived GM-CSF/IL-15 fusokine (GIFT15)-induced Bregs in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) using transcriptomics and functional validation. Bulk RNA-seq of splenic Bregs revealed upregulation of Ccl3, GzmB, and Il27 subunits compared to resting B cells. Functional studies showed that CCL3-deficient Bregs failed to suppress disease, whereas GzmB-deficient Bregs retained efficacy, and IL-27 receptor signaling in recipients was dispensable. Flow cytometry demonstrated that CCL3 expression correlated with FoxP3⁺ Treg and Tr1 expansion, along with CD206⁺ macrophage polarization. In the CNS, transient, tissue-dependent increases in oligodendroglial markers O4 and GalC were detected. Collectively, these findings identify CCL3 as a non-redundant effector of Breg-mediated protection, acting primarily through peripheral T-cell and myeloid remodeling, with secondary CNS impacts. These results highlight the translational potential of CCL3-competent, spleen-derived GIFT15 Bregs for therapeutic modulation of autoimmune demyelination.
