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

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a disorder involving the skin, gut and liver that is caused by mismatches of major and/or minor histocompatibility antigens between the HLA-identical donor and recipient. If T lymphocytes infiltrating GVHD lesions recognize antigens expressed in these organs, T cell clones should expand in inflammatory tissues. We previously reported that recipients of allogeneic bone marrow grafts have clonally expanded TCRalphabeta(+) T lymphocytes soon after transplantation, which leads to a skew of TCR repertoires. To establish whether or not the same antigens cause clonal expansion of T lymphocytes in both blood and GVHD tissues, we examined the usage of TCR alpha and beta chain variable regions (TCRAV and TCRBV) and determined the complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) of T lymphocytes clonally expanded in circulating blood and GVHD lesions. We found that the repertoires and CDR3 diversity of TCRAV and TCRBV differed between the GVHD lesions and circulating blood, suggesting the selective recruitment of antigen-specific T cells into GVHD tissues. We also found that the usage of TCRAV and TCRBV by the clonally expanded T lymphocytes and their CDR3 sequences differed between the GVHD tissues and blood. These results suggest that the antigen specificity of TCRalphabeta(+) T lymphocytes clonally expanded in blood and GVHD lesions is different.
