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

A growing body of evidence has shown that resident memory T (TRM) cells formed in tissue after mucosal infection or vaccination are crucial for counteracting reinfection by pathogens. However, whether lung TRM cells activated by oral immunization with Yptb1(pYA5199) play a protective role against pneumonic plague remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that lung CD4+ and CD8+ TRM cells significantly accumulated in the lungs of orally Yptb1(pYA5199)-vaccinated mice and dramatically expanded with elevated IL-17A, IFN-γ, and/or TNF-α production after pulmonary Yersinia pestis infection and afforded significant protection. Short-term or long-term treatment of immunized mice with FTY720 did not affect lung TRM cell formation and expansion or protection against pneumonic plague. Moreover, the intratracheal transfer of both lung CD4+ and CD8+ TRM cells conferred comprehensive protection against pneumonic plague in naive recipient mice. Lung TRM cell-mediated protection was dramatically abolished by the neutralization of both IFN-γ and IL-17A. Our findings reveal that lung TRM cells can be activated via oral Yptb1(pYA5199) vaccination, and that IL-17A and IFN-γ production play an essential role in adaptive immunity against pulmonary Y. pestis infection. This study highlights an important new target for developing an effective pneumonic plague vaccine.
