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

Aging exerts profound and paradoxical effects on the immune system, at once impairing proliferation, cytotoxicity and phagocytosis, and inducing chronic inflammation. Previous studies have focused on individual tissues or cell types, while a comprehensive multisystem study of tissue-resident and circulating immune populations during aging is lacking. Here we reveal an atlas of age-related changes in the abundance and phenotype of immune cell populations across 12 mouse tissues. Using cytometry-based high parametric analysis of 37 mass-cytometry and 55 spectral flow-cytometry parameters, mapping samples from young and aged animals revealed conserved and tissue-type-specific patterns of both immune atrophy and expansion. We uncovered clear phenotypic changes in both lymphoid and myeloid lineages in aged mice, and in particular a contraction in natural killer cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. These changes correlated with a skewing towards myelopoiesis at the expense of early lymphocyte genesis in aged mice. Taken together, this atlas represents a comprehensive, systematic and thorough resource of the age-dependent alterations of the mammalian immune system in lymphoid, barrier and solid tissues.
