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

backgroundThis study aims to investigate the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

methodsThe TCR repertoires of 9 unstable angina patients (UA), 14 acute myocardial infarction patients (AMI) and 9 normal coronary artery (NCA) patients were profiled using high-throughput sequencing (HTS). The clonal diversity of the TCR repertoires in different groups was analyzed, as well as the frequencies of variable (V), diversity (D) and joining(J) gene segments.

resultsACS patients including UA and AMI, showed reduced TCRβ diversity than NCA patients. ACS patients presented higher levels of clonal expansion. The clonotype overlap of complementarity determining region 3(CDR3) was significantly varied between different groups. A total of 10 V genes and 1 J gene were differently utilized between ACS and NCA patients. We identified some shared CDR3 amino acid sequences that were presented in ACS but not in NCA patients.

conclusionsThis study revealed the distinct TCR repertoires in patients with ACS and demonstrated the presence of disease associated T-cell clonotypes. These findings suggested a role of T cells in ACS and provided a new way to explore the mechanisms of ACS.
