May be adenosine an immuno-quorum-sensing signal?
Article in Purinergic signalling, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Quorum sensing indicates a communication process between bacteria based on a coordinate variation in gene expression aimed at coordinating a collective comportment related to the bacterial population density. Increasing pieces of evidence pointed out that a quorum-sensing system can be a regulatory program also used in the immune field to organize the density of the various immune cell populations and to calibrate their responses. In particular, such equilibrium is achieved by the ability of immune cells to perceive the density of their own populations or those of other cells in their environment, through the release of several mediators able to finely shape the cell density via coordinated changes in gene expression and protein signaling. In this regard, adenosine displays the typical characteristics of a mediator involved in the regulation of quorum sensing, thus suggesting a putative role of this nucleoside in shaping the balance between diverse immune cell populations.
