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

Organisms need to protect themselves against potential dangers from their surroundings, yet they require constant and intimate interactions with the same environment for their survival. The immune system is instrumental for protection against invading organisms and their toxins. The immune system consists of many cell types and is highly integrated within other tissues. Immune activity is particularly enriched at surfaces that separate the host from its environment, such as the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. This enables protection at sites directly at risk but also enables environmental factors to influence the maturation and function of immune structures and cells. Recent work has indicated that the diet in particular is able to influence the immune system and thus affect the development of inflammatory disease. This review aims to highlight recent work on how external factors, with a focus on those derived from the diet such as vitamin A, can have a direct or indirect deterministic influence on the activity and function of immunity.
