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

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation cures hematologic diseases but is limited by acute graft‑versus‑host disease. How human T cell clones drive epithelial injury remains poorly mapped. We studied 31 transplant recipients, integrating longitudinal T cell antigen receptor (TCR) profiling with single-cell RNA sequencing/TCR sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to track T cell clonal dynamics. We developed DecompTCR to resolve temporal dynamics and adapted computational tools to map clone phenotypes and niches in tissue. Our analyses revealed that cyclophosphamide selectively depletes alloreactive clones, although insufficient early expansion leads to incomplete depletion and severe disease. Severe graft‑versus‑host disease is marked by persistent expansion of alloreactive clones, rewiring of homeostatic cell types and diversification of donor-derived CD8
