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

The group of patients with DNA-repair-defects increases susceptibility to infections due to impaired repertoire diversity. In this context, we aimed to investigate the TCRvβ-repertoire by flow cytometric analysis and its correlation with clinical entities in a group of IEI patients with DNA repair defects. Peripheral lymphocyte subset and TCRvβ-repertoire analyses were performed by flow cytometric analysis. The aim was to explore the changing TCR-Vβ-repertoire that can predict some clinical entities by investigating the repertoire using flow-cytometric-analysis-based TCR-Vβ and its interaction with clinical entities in a group of IEI patients with DNA repair defects. TCR-repertoire of the patients with DNA-repair-defects and healthy controls was analysed with flow-cytometer. The potential of flow-cytometric analysis of the TCR repertoire as a practical and easily accessible clinical prediction method was investigated. Thirty-nine-IEI patients with DNA-repair-defects and 15 age-matched healthy-controls were included in this study. Peripheral lymphocyte subset and TCR-Vβ repertoire analyses were performed by flow cytometry. Compared to the control group, 9 out of 24 clones (37.5%) exhibited a statistically significant reduction, while only 3 clones showed a statistically significant increase (p < 0.05). Preferential use of vβ-genes was associated with some clinical entities. Lower TCR-vβ-9 and TCR-vβ23, higher TCR-vβ7.2 were found in the patients with pneumonia (n = 13) (p = 0.018, p = 0.044 p = 0.032). AT patients with pneumonia had lower TCR-vβ-9 clone than patients without pneumonia (p = 0.008). Skewed proliferation of most TCR-vβ clones was seen DNA-repair-defects, especially AT. In addition, this study showed that preferential use of TCR-vβ genes could be predictive for some clinical entities.
