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

The immune system is composed of a variety of different T-cell lineages distributed through both secondary lymphoid tissue and non-lymphoid tissue. The intestinal epithelium is a critical barrier surface that contains numerous intraepithelial lymphocytes that aid in maintaining homeostasis at that barrier. This review focuses on T-cell receptor αβ (TCRαβ) CD8αα intraepithelial lymphocytes, and how recent advances in the field clarify how this unique T-cell subset is selected, matures, and functions in the intestines. We consider how the available evidence reveals a story of ontogeny starting from agonist selection of T cells in the thymus and finishing through the specific signaling environment of the intestinal epithelium. We conclude with how this story raises further key questions about the development of different ontogenic waves of TCRαβ CD8αα IEL and their importance for intestinal epithelial homeostasis.
