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

Adaptive immune diversity is shaped by the complex organization of T cell receptor (TCR) and B cell receptor (BCR) repertoires across tissues. However, a systematic cross-tissue immune repertoire profiling in healthy pigs is still lacking. In this study, we used 3 14-day-old Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire (DLY) crossbred piglets, all of which were male. After sample purification, a total of 71,731 cells were retained. We established single-cell profiling integrating paired BCR and TCR repertoires across 11 immune-associated tissues using single-cell RNA sequencing combined with V(D)J sequencing based on DLY crossbred piglets. Diverse populations of immune cells were identified, with significant tissue-specific heterogeneity being revealed in lymphatic, mucosal, and circulatory organs. Immune repertoire analysis demonstrated biased V(D)J gene usage, conserved complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) length distributions, preferential receptor pairing patterns, and extensive clonotype diversity. Cross-tissue analyses further revealed coordinated clonotype sharing and distinct clonal expansion patterns among immune cell subsets. In addition, using the Pig-specific V(D)J primers we designed, the sequencing results have achieved a modest improvement in the detection of immunoglobulin alleles compared to previous studies. It is expected to provide a more reliable technical solution for related research. Collectively, this work provides a comprehensive reference profiling of the healthy DLY crossbred piglet adaptive immune system and offers valuable resources for future studies of porcine immunology, infectious diseases, and vaccine responses.
