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

We previously described skewed repertoires of the T cell receptor-beta chain variable region (TCRBV) and the TCR-alpha chain variable region (TCRAV) soon after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. To determine the characteristics of skewed TCRBV after transplantation, we examined the clonality of T lymphocytes carrying skewed TCRBV subfamilies and determined the CDR3 sequences of expanded T cell clones. In all 11 recipients examined, TCR repertoires were skewed, with an increase of certain TCRBV subfamilies that differed among individuals. In nine of 11 patients, clonal/oligoclonal T cell expansion was observed, although the expanded T cells were not necessarily oligoclonal. The extent of expansion after transplantation appeared to predict clonality. The arginine (R)-X-X-glycine (G) sequence was identified in clonally expanded T cells from four of five recipients examined, and glutamic acid (E), aspartic acid (D) and alanine (A) were frequently inserted between R and G. These results suggest that T lymphocyte expansion may result from the response to antigens widely existing in humans, and that the extensive clonal expansion of a limited number of T cells leads to contracted CDR3 diversity and post-transplant skewed TCR repertoires.
