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

There are numbers of leukocytes present in peritoneal cavity, not only protecting body cavity from infection but also contributing to peripheral immunity including natural antibody production in circulation. The peritoneal leukocytes compose unique immune compartment, the functions of which cannot be replaced by other lymphoid organs. Atypical lymphoid clusters, called "milky spots", that are located in visceral adipose tissue omentum have the privilege of immune niche in terms of differentiation, recruitment, and activation of peritoneal immunity, yet mechanisms underlying the regulation are underexplored. In this review, I discuss the emerging views of peritoneal immune system in the contexts of its development, organization, and functions.
