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

Gamma delta (γδ) T cells, which reside in mucosal and epithelial tissues, are integral to immune responses and are involved in various cancers, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. To study human γδ T cells to a translational level, we developed γδ humanized TCR-T1 (HuTCR-T1) mice using our TruHumanization platform. We compared the metabolomic profiles from plasma samples of wild-type (WT), γδ HuTCR-T1 mice, and humans using UHPLC-MS/MS. Untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics were used to screen all detectable metabolites. Principal component analysis revealed that the metabolomic profiles of γδ HuTCR-T1 mice closely resemble those of humans, with a clear segregation of metabolites between γδ HuTCR-T1 and WT mice. Most humanized γδ metabolites were classified as lipids, followed by organic compounds and amino acids. Pathway analysis identified significant alterations in the metabolism of tryptophan, tyrosine, sphingolipids, and glycerophospholipids, shifting these pathways towards a more human-like profile. Immunophenotyping showed that γδ HuTCR-T1 mice maintained normal proportions of both lymphoid and myeloid immune cell populations, closely resembling WT mice, with only a few exceptions. These findings demonstrate that the γδ HuTCR-T1 mouse model exhibits a metabolomic profile that is remarkably similar to that of humans, highlighting its potential as a relevant model for investigating the role of metabolites in disease development and progression. This model also offers an opportunity to discover therapeutic human TCRs.
