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

The human immune system relies on highly complex and diverse transcripts and the proteins they encode. These include transcripts encoding human leukocyte antigen (HLA) receptors as well as B cell and T cell receptors (BCR and TCR). Determining which alleles an individual possesses for each HLA gene (high-resolution HLA typing) is essential to establish donor-recipient compatibility in organ and bone marrow transplantations. In turn, the repertoires of millions of unique BCR and TCR transcripts in each individual carry a vast amount of health-relevant information. Both short-read RNA-seq-based HLA typing and BCR/TCR repertoire sequencing (AIRR-seq) currently rely on our incomplete knowledge of the genetic diversity at HLA and BCR/TCR loci. Here, we generated over 10,000,000 full-length cDNA sequences at a median accuracy of 97.9% using our nanopore sequencing-based Rolling Circle Amplification to Concatemeric Consensus (R2C2) protocol. We used this data set to (1) show that deep and accurate full-length cDNA sequencing can be used to provide isoform-level transcriptome analysis for more than 9000 loci, (2) generate accurate sequences of HLA alleles, and (3) extract detailed AIRR data for the analysis of the adaptive immune system. The HLA and AIRR analysis approaches we introduce here are untargeted and therefore do not require prior knowledge of the composition or genetic diversity of HLA and BCR/TCR loci.
