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

Longstanding immunological dogma holds that flexible immune recognition, which forms the mechanistic basis of adaptive immunity, is strictly confined to the lymphocyte lineage. In higher vertebrates, flexible immune recognition is represented by recombinatorial antigen receptors of enormous diversity known as immunoglobulins, expressed by B lymphocytes, and the T cell receptor (TCR), expressed by T lymphocytes. The recent discovery of recombinatorial immune receptors that are structurally based on the TCR (referred to as TCR-like immunoreceptors, "TCRL") in myeloid phagocytes such as neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages now challenges the lymphocentric paradigm of flexible immunity. Here, we introduce the emerging concept of "extralymphocytic flexible immune recognition" and discuss its implications for inflammation and aging.
