Distribution of Functional CD4 and CD8 T cell Subsets in Blood and Rectal Mucosal Tissues.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
A better understanding of the distribution and functional capacity of CD4 T helper (Th) and CD8 T cytotoxic (Tc) cell subsets in the rectal mucosa (RM), a major site for HIV acquisition and replication, in adults is needed. In this study, we compared the distribution of Th and Tc cell subsets between blood and RM compartments in 62 HIV negative men, focusing primarily on IL-17-producing CD4 and CD8 T cells due to their importance in establishing and maintaining mucosal defenses, and examined associations between the frequencies of Th17 and Tc17 cell subsets and the availability of highly HIV-susceptible target cells in the RM. The RM exhibited a distinct immune cell composition comprised of higher frequencies of Th2, Th17, and Tc17 cells compared to the peripheral blood. The majority of Tc17 cells in RM were quadruple-cytokine producers (IL-17A
