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

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic relapsing-remitting inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that is characterized by altered innate and adaptive immune function. Although massively parallel sequencing studies of the T cell receptor repertoire identified oligoclonal expansion of unique clones, much less is known about the B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire in CD. Here, we present a novel BCR repertoire sequencing data set from ileal biopsies from pediatric patients with CD and controls, and identify CD-specific somatic hypermutation (SHM) patterns, revealed by a machine learning (ML) algorithm trained on BCR repertoire sequences. Moreover, ML classification of a different data set from blood samples of adults with CD versus controls identified that V gene usage, clusters, or mutation frequencies yielded excellent results in classifying the disease (F1 > 90%). In summary, we show that an ML algorithm enables the classification of CD based on unique BCR repertoire features with high accuracy.
