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

B-cell receptors (BCRs) play a critical role in adaptive immunity as they generate highly diverse immunoglobulin repertoires to recognize a wide variety of antigens. To better understand immune responses, it is critically important to establish a quantitative and rapid method to analyze BCR repertoire comprehensively. Here, we developed "Bcrip", a novel approach to characterize BCR repertoire by sequencing millions of BCR cDNA using next-generation sequencer. Using this method and quantitative real-time PCR, we analyzed expression levels and repertoires of BCRs in a total of 17 peanut allergic subjects' peripheral blood samples before and after receiving oral immunotherapy (OIT) or placebo. By our methods, we successfully identified all of variable (V), joining (J), and constant (C) regions, in an average of 79.1% of total reads and 99.6% of these VJC-mapped reads contained the C region corresponding to the isotypes that we aimed to analyze. In the 17 peanut allergic subjects' peripheral blood samples, we observed an oligoclonal enrichment of certain immunoglobulin heavy chain alpha (IGHA) and IGH gamma (IGHG) clones (P = 0.034 and P = 0.027, respectively) in peanut allergic subjects after OIT. This newly developed BCR sequencing and analysis method can be applied to investigate B-cell repertoires in various research areas, including food allergies as well as autoimmune and infectious diseases.
