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 have analysed the transcribed immunoglobulin kappa (IGK) repertoire of peripheral blood B cells from four individuals from two genetically distinct populations, Papua New Guinean and Australian, using high-throughput DNA sequencing. The depth of sequencing data for each individual averaged 5,548 high-quality IGK reads, and permitted genotyping of the inferred IGKV and IGKJ germline gene segments for each individual. All individuals were homozygous at each IGKJ locus and had highly similar inferred IGKV genotypes. Preferential gene usage was seen at both the IGKV and IGKJ loci, but only IGKV segment usage varied significantly between individuals. Despite the differences in IGKV gene utilisation, the rearranged IGK repertoires showed extensive identity at the amino acid level. Public rearrangements (those shared by two or more individuals) made up 60.2% of the total sequenced IGK rearrangements. The total diversity of IGK rearrangements of each individual was estimated to range from just 340 to 549 unique amino acid sequences. Thus, the repertoire of unique expressed IGK rearrangements is dramatically less than previous theoretical estimates of IGK diversity, and the majority of expressed IGK rearrangements are likely to be extensively shared in individual human beings.
