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

backgroundTuberculosis (TB) is a major global health problem and has replaced HIV as the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent.

methodsHere, we applied high throughput sequencing to study the immune repertoire of nine pulmonary tuberculosis patients and nine healthy control samples.

resultsTuberculosis patients and healthy controls displayed significantly different high express clones and distinguishable sharing of CDR3 sequences. The TRBV and TRBJ gene usage showed higher expression clones in patients than in controls and we also found specific high express TRBV and TRBJ gene clones in different groups. In addition, six highly expressed TRBV/TRBJ combinations were detected in the CD4 group, 21 in the CD8 group and 32 in the tissue group.

conclusionIn conclusion, we studied the patients with tuberculosis as well as healthy control individuals in order to understand the characteristics of immune repertoire. Sharing of CDR3 sequences and differential expression of genes was found among the patients with tuberculosis which could be used for the development of potential vaccine and targets treatment.
