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

motivationThe study of T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires has generated new insights into immune system recognition. However, the ability to robustly characterize these populations has been limited by technical barriers and an inability to reliably infer heterodimeric chain pairings for TCRs.

resultsHere, we describe a novel analytical approach to an emerging immune repertoire sequencing method, improving the resolving power of this low-cost technology. This method relies upon the distribution of a T cell population across a 96-well plate, followed by barcoding and sequencing of the relevant transcripts from each T cell. Multicell Analytical Deconvolution for High Yield Paired-chain Evaluation (MAD-HYPE) uses Bayesian inference to more accurately extract TCR information, improving our ability to study and characterize T cell populations for immunology and immunotherapy applications. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The MAD-HYPE algorithm is released as an open-source project under the Apache License and is available from https://github.com/birnbaumlab/MAD-HYPE. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
