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

This chapter outlines a detailed methodology for high-throughput sequencing of the immunoglobulin (Ig) repertoire from mouse RNA samples. We describe RNA extraction from splenic B cells, followed by the conversion into cDNA using the 5'RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) technique and PCR amplification of the Ig heavy and light chain repertoire. The amplified products are prepared using specific primers for Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) and unique molecular identifiers (UMI) as molecular barcodes. The protocol includes stringent quality control steps to ensure the integrity of RNA and the accuracy of amplification. We describe the amplification of Ighm and all Ighg subclasses, for Ig heavy chains and for the predominant Igκ light chain isotype. RNA-based 5'RACE-RepSeq proves very useful to analyze the diversity and clonality of Ig repertoire, as well as somatic hypermutations, providing insights into the adaptive immune response. This method enables the high-throughput characterization of the mouse Ig repertoire in immunological contexts.
