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

Immune cells, including T and B cells, are key factors in the success of liver transplantation. And the repertoire of T cells and B cells plays an essential function in mechanism of the immune response associated with organ transplantation. An exploration of their expression and distribution in donor organs could contribute to a better understanding of the altered immune microenvironment in grafts. In this study, using single-cell 5' RNA sequence and single-cell T cell receptor (TCR)/B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire sequence, we profiled immune cells and TCR/BCR repertoire in three pairs of donor livers pre- and post-transplantation. By annotating different immune cell types, we investigated the functional properties of monocytes/Kupffer cells, T cells and B cells in grafts. Bioinformatic characterization of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the transcriptomes of these cell subclusters were performed to explore the role of immune cells in inflammatory response or rejection. In addition, we also observed shifts in TCR/BCR repertoire after transplantation. In conclusion, we profiled the immune cell transcriptomics and TCR/BCR immune repertoire of liver grafts during transplantation, which may offer novel strategies for monitoring recipient immune function and treatment of rejection after liver transplantation.
