A single-cell V(D)J sequencing dataset of peripheral blood cells in multibacillary leprosy.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae (Mlep), and is classified as a tropical disease by the WHO. While prior research has documented the various phenotypes and functions of T cells and B cells in Mlep infection, the specific clonotypes of T cells and B cells that are essential for understanding the progression of multibacillary leprosy have not been reported. Here, we established a single-cell V(D)J sequencing dataset including 5 multibacillary leprosy patients (MBs) and 5 healthy individuals (HCs), aiming to generate comprehensive profiles of T-cell receptors and B-cell receptors present in the peripheral blood. This study suggested that Mlep infection has distinct selective effects on peripheral immune repertoires and that these biased immune repertoires observed in MBs have potential as biomarkers. This dataset provides very comprehensive and valuable data on the peripheral blood immune repertoire of multibacillary leprosy patients. It holds considerable importance in the clinical monitoring and management of Mlep infections, ultimately contributing to the WHO goal "Towards Zero Leprosy" by 2030.
