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

backgroundTo evaluate circulating T follicular helper (cTfh) cells and characterize their function in chronic-phase recipients after heart transplantation.

methodsParticipants were divided into healthy control (HC, n=40), preoperative (Pre, n=40), and post-transplantation chronic-phase recipient (1-year, n=40) groups. The percentages of cTfh cell subsets and CD19

resultscTfh and programmed cell death protein 1-positive (PD-1

conclusionsDuring the chronic phase, the proportion of cTfh cells increased and enhanced B cell responses. The cTfh-related soluble factors CXCL13 and IL-21 may regulate the immunopathogenesis of chronic immune injury. Thus, cTfh cells may drive long-term immune rejection in chronic-phase recipients after heart transplantation.
