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

T cells represent a crucial component of the adaptive immune system and mediate anti-tumoral immunity as well as protection against infections, including respiratory viruses such as SARS-CoV-2. Next-generation sequencing of the T-cell receptors (TCRs) can be used to profile the T-cell repertoire. We developed a customized pipeline for Network Analysis of Immune Repertoire (NAIR) with advanced statistical methods to characterize and investigate changes in the landscape of TCR sequences. We first performed network analysis on the TCR sequence data based on sequence similarity. We then quantified the repertoire network by network properties and correlated it with clinical outcomes of interest. In addition, we identified (1) disease-specific/associated clusters and (2) shared clusters across samples based on our customized search algorithms and assessed their relationship with clinical outcomes such as recovery from COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, to identify disease-specific TCRs, we introduced a new metric that incorporates the clonal generation probability and the clonal abundance by using the Bayes factor to filter out the false positives. TCR-seq data from COVID-19 subjects and healthy donors were used to illustrate that the proposed approach to analyzing the network architecture of the immune repertoire can reveal potential disease-specific TCRs responsible for the immune response to infection.
