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

The respiratory epithelium is one of the primary interfaces between the body's immune system and the external environment. This review discusses the innate and adaptive immunomodulatory effects of the respiratory epithelium, highlighting the physiologic immune responses associated with health and the disease-causing sequelae when these physiologic responses go awry. Airway macrophages, dendritic cells, and innate lymphoid cells are discussed as orchestrators of physiological and pathological innate immune responses and T cells, B cells, mast cells, and granulocytes (eosinophils and neutrophils) as orchestrators of physiologic and pathologic adaptive immune responses. The interplay between the airway epithelium and the varied immune cells as well as the interplay between these immune cells is discussed, highlighting the importance of the dose of noxious stimuli and pathogens in immune programming and the timing of their interaction with the immune cells that determine the pattern of immune responses. Although each cell type has been researched individually, this review highlights the need for simultaneous temporal investigation of immune responses from these varied cells to noxious stimuli and pathogens.
