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

Studies here describe expression and sequence of several new bovine T cell receptor gamma (TRG) genes to yield a total of 11 TRG variable (TRGV) genes (in eight subgroups) and six TRG constant (TRGC) genes. Publicly available genomic sequences were annotated to show their placement. Homologous TRG genes in cattle and sheep were assigned, using four accepted criteria. New genes described here include the bovine TRGC6, TRGV2, and TRGV4, homologues of ovine TRGC4, TRGV2, and TRGV4, respectively. The bovine Vgamma7 and BTGV1 clones (previously TRGV4 and TRGV2, respectively) were reassigned to new subgroups TRGV7 and TRGV8, respectively, with approval by the IMGT Nomenclature Committee. Three TRGV subgroups (TRGV5, TRGV6, and TRGV8) were further designated as TRGV5-1 and TRGV5-2, TRGV6-1 and TRGV6-2, and TRGV8-1 and TRGV8-2 because each subgroup is comprised of two mapped genes. The complete sequence of bovine TRGC5 is also reported, for which a limited number of nucleotides was previously available, and shown to be most closely related to ovine TRGC5. Analysis of circulating gammadelta T cells revealed that rearrangement of TRGV genes with TRGC genes is largely dictated by their proximity within one of the six genomic V-J-C cassettes, with all TRG genes expressed by bovine peripheral blood gammadelta T cells. Cattle are useful models for gammadelta T cell biology because they have gammadelta T cells that respond to isopentenylpyrophosphate (IPP) antigens, while mice do not, and some bovine TRGV genes cluster closely with human genes.
