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

backgroundIgA neutralizes pathogens to prevent infection at mucosal sites. However, emerging evidence shows that IgA contributes to aggravating inflammation or dismantling antitumor immunity in human diseased liver. The aim of this study was to elucidate the roles of inflammation-induced intrahepatic inflammatory IgA

methodsPatient cohorts including steatohepatitis cohort (n=61) and HCC cohort (n=271) were established. Patients' surgical and biopsy specimens were analyzed using immunohistochemistry. Multicolor flow cytometry was performed with a subset of patient samples. Single-cell RNA-Seq analysis was performed using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. Additionally, we performed in vitro differentiation of macrophages, stimulation with coated IgA, and RNA sequencing. Hepa1-6 cells and C57BL/6N mice were used to obtain HCC syngeneic mouse models.

resultsSerum IgA levels were associated (p<0.001) with fibrosis progression and HCC development in patients with chronic liver diseases. Additionally, immunohistochemical staining of inflamed livers or HCC revealed IgA positivity in monocytes, with a correlation between IgA

conclusionsOverall, the findings of this study showed that serum IgA levels was correlated with intrahepatic and intratumoral infiltration of inflammatory IgA
