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 cell function varies tremendously between individuals, posing a major challenge to emerging cellular immunotherapies. This report pursues the use of cell morphology as an indicator of high-level T cell function. Short-term spreading of T cells on planar, elastic surfaces was quantified by 11 morphological parameters and analyzed to identify effects of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Our findings identified morphological features that varied between T cells isolated from healthy donors and those from patients being treated for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). This approach also identified differences between cell responses to substrates of different elastic modulus. Combining multiple features through a machine learning approach such as Decision Tree or Random Forest provided an effective means for identifying whether T cells came from healthy or CLL donors. Further development of this approach could lead to a rapid assay of T cell function to guide cellular immunotherapy.
