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

Recent findings position tuft cells as key mediators of intestinal immunity through their production of the cytokine interleukin (IL)-25 and activation of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Though tuft cells are found in numerous epithelial tissues, their phenotype and function have been best characterized in the small intestine, where robust in vivo techniques have enabled the dissection of their cellular function, ontogeny, and key signaling pathways. We describe methods for the identification, quantification, and manipulation of tuft cells, focusing on analysis of ILC2s as a readout of tuft cell function. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
