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

Comprehensive and integrated resources on interactions between T-cell receptors (TCRs) and antigens are still lacking for adoptive T-cell-based immunotherapies, highlighting a significant gap that must be addressed to fully understand the mechanisms of antigen recognition by T cells. In this study, we present the T-cell receptor-antigen interaction database (TRAIT), a comprehensive database that profiles the interactions between TCRs and antigens. TRAIT stands out due to its comprehensive description of TCR-antigen interactions by integrating sequences, structures, and affinities. It provides millions of experimentally validated TCR-antigen pairs, resulting in an exhaustive landscape of antigen-specific TCRs. Notably, TRAIT emphasizes single-cell omics as a major reliable data source for TCR-antigen interactions and includes millions of reliable non-interactive TCRs. Additionally, it thoroughly demonstrates the interactions between mutations of TCRs and antigens, thereby benefiting affinity optimization of engineered TCRs as well as vaccine design. TCRs on clinical trials are innovatively provided. With the significant efforts made toward elucidating the complex interactions between TCRs and antigens, TRAIT is expected to ultimately contribute superior algorithms and substantial advancements in the field of T-cell-based immunotherapies. TRAIT is freely accessible at https://pgx.zju.edu.cn/traitdb.
