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

purpose of reviewT cells can mediate allograft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), but are necessary for tolerance and protective immunity. Identifying T-cell populations differentially responsible for these effects has been a goal in transplant research. This review describes investigation of a small subset of T cells naturally predisposed toward alloreactivity, cells expressing two T-cell receptors (TCRs). RECENT

findingsRare peripheral T cells express two αβTCRs. Their impact on T-cell development and function has been uncertain. Recent work demonstrates an important role for these cells in mouse models and human hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients with acute GVHD. Dual receptor T cells are preferentially activated and expanded in vitro and in vivo by allogeneic stimulation. Genetic elimination of dual TCR expression results in loss of approximately half of the alloreactive repertoire and impedes the earliest steps of GVHD. SUMMARY: Identification of dual TCR T cells as predisposed to alloreactivity provides an opportunity to examine responses limiting transplantation. Continued investigation will reveal significant fundamental features of T-cell alloreactivity and important information about the earliest events determining allograft rejection and self-tolerance.
