Characterisation of T cell receptor repertoires in coeliac disease.
Article in Journal of clinical pathology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
aimsCharacterise T-cell receptor gene (TR) repertoires of small intestinal T cells of patients with newly diagnosed (active) coeliac disease (ACD), refractory CD type I (RCD I) and patients with CD on a gluten-free diet (GFD).
methodsNext-generation sequencing of complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) of rearranged T cell receptor β (TRB) and γ (TRG) genes was performed using DNA extracted from intraepithelial cell (IEC) and lamina propria cell (LPC) fractions and a small subset of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples obtained from CD and non-CD (control) patients. Several parameters were assessed, including relative abundance and enrichment.
resultsTRB and TRG repertoires of CD IEC and LPC samples demonstrated lower clonality but higher frequency of rearranged TRs compared with controls. No CD-related differences were detected in the limited number of PBMC samples. Previously published LP gliadin-specific TRB sequences were more frequently detected in LPC samples from patients with CD compared with non-CD controls. TRG repertoires of IECs from both ACD and GFD patients demonstrated increased abundance of certain CDR3 amino acid (AA) motifs compared with controls, which were encoded by multiple nucleotide variants, including one motif that was enriched in duodenal IECs versus the PBMCs of CD patients.
conclusionsSmall intestinal TRB and TRG repertoires of patients with CD are more diverse than individuals without CD, likely due to mucosal recruitment and accumulation of T cells because of protracted inflammation. Enrichment of the unique TRG CDR3 AA sequence in the mucosa of patients with CD may suggest disease-associated changes in the TCRγδ IE lymphocyte (IEL) landscape.
