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

In this work, chicken HPAIV H5N1 epitope-specific TCRαβ (ch-TCRαβ) was isolated and its structure was determined. The Cα domain of ch-TCRαβ does not exhibit the typical structure of human TCRαβ, and the DE loop extends outward, resulting in close proximity between the Cα domain of ch-TCRαβ and CD3εδ/γ. The FG loop of the Cβ domain of ch-TCRαβ is shorter. The changes in the C domains of ch-TCRαβ and the difference in chicken CD3εδ/γ confirm that the complexes formed by TCRαβ and CD3εδ/γ differ from those in humans. In the chicken complex, a positively charged cleft is formed between the two CDR3 loops that might accommodate the acidic side chains of the chicken pMHC-I-bound HPAIV epitope intermediate portion oriented toward ch-TCRαβ. This is the first reported structure of chicken TCRαβ, and it provides a structural model of the ancestral TCR system in the immune synapses between T cells and antigen-presenting cells in lower vertebrates.
