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

The ligands for alpha beta T cell receptors (alphabetaTCRs) are usually major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins bound to peptides. Although there is evidence that T cell receptor variable regions have been selected evolutionarily to bind MHC, the rules governing this interaction have not previously been apparent. However, recent solved structures of T cell receptors with related variable regions bound to MHC plus peptides suggest that some amino acids in variable region CDR1 and CDR2s almost always react in a consistent way with MHC. These amino acids may therefore have been selected evolutionarily to predispose T cell receptors toward recognition of MHC ligands.
