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 T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire records an individual's immunological history, but most unique CDR3 sequences in any one person are private and uninformative about anyone else. A small subset, however, recurs predictably across unrelated donors. These public TCRβ sequences are independently generated by multiple mechanisms: enrichment by thymic positive selection on a largely shared self-peptide-MHC ligandome, further amplified by selection on common foreign antigens and convergent recombination, together, they are what makes a personal repertoire computationally legible: they provide the shared coordinate system on which otherwise incommensurable repertoires can be aligned and compared. This review takes public TCR sequences as its protagonist. We trace the biology of TCR publicity through new measurements on a 1.5-billion-sequence meta-repertoire (7943 samples, 41 studies) that quantify five interrelated properties: the universe is finite, with Chao2-bounded ceilings (i.e., a lower estimate) of ≈1.97 × 10
