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

Adaptive immune receptor repertoire (AIRR) is encoded by T cell receptor (TR) and immunoglobulin (IG) genes. Profiling these germline genes encoding AIRR (abbreviated as gAIRR) is important in understanding adaptive immune responses but is challenging due to the high genetic complexity. Our gAIRR Suite comprises three modules. gAIRR-seq, a probe capture-based targeted sequencing pipeline, profiles gAIRR from individual DNA samples. gAIRR-call and gAIRR-annotate call alleles from gAIRR-seq reads and annotate whole-genome assemblies, respectively. We gAIRR-seqed TRV and TRJ of seven Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) DNA samples with 100% accuracy and discovered novel alleles. We also gAIRR-seqed and gAIRR-called the TR and IG genes of a subject from both the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and oral mucosal cells. The calling results from these two cell types have a high concordance (99% for all known gAIRR alleles). We gAIRR-annotated 36 genomes to unearth 325 novel TRV alleles and 29 novel TRJ alleles. We could further profile the flanking sequences, including the recombination signal sequence (RSS). We validated two structural variants for HG002 and uncovered substantial differences of gAIRR genes in references GRCh37 and GRCh38. gAIRR Suite serves as a resource to sequence, analyze, and validate germline TR and IG genes to study various immune-related phenotypes.
