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

backgroundHow T follicular (Tfh) cells contribute to many different B-cell class-switching events during T-cell-dependent immune responses has been unclear. Diseases with polarized isotype switching offer a unique opportunity for the exploration of Tfh subsets. Secondary and tertiary lymphoid organs in patients with elevated tissue expression levels of IgE (Kimura disease, KD) and those of IgG

objectiveWe sought to identify disease-specific Tfh cell subsets in secondary and tertiary lymphoid organs expressing IL-10 or IL-13 and thus identify different cellular drivers of class switching in 2 distinct types of fibrotic disorders: allergic fibrosis (driven by type 2 immune cells) and inflammatory fibrosis (driven by cytotoxic T lymphocytes).

methodsSingle-cell RNA sequencing, in situ sequencing, and multicolor immunofluorescence analysis were used to investigate B cells, Tfh cells, and infiltrating type 2 cells in lesion tissues from patients with KD or IgG

resultsInfiltrating Tfh cells in tertiary lymphoid organs from IgG

conclusionsOur analysis revealed a novel subset of IL-10
