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

Functional alterations with age are observed in all human systems, but the aging of the adaptive immune system displays both general changes affecting all individuals, and idiosyncratic changes that are unique to individuals. In the T cell compartment, general aging manifests in three ways: (1) the reduction of naïve T cells, (2) the accumulation of differentiated memory T cells, and (3) a reduced overall T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire. Idiosyncratic impacts of aging, such as changes in the TCR repertoires of altered memory and naïve T cells are shaped by each person's life exposures. Recent advancements in single-cell sequencing provide new information including the identification of new subpopulations of T cells, characteristics of transcriptome changes in T cells and their TCR clonotype with age, and measurement of individual cell age. Here, we focus on the changes in T cell subpopulations, transcriptomes and TCR repertoires in overall and antigen-specific T cell population with aging.
