Epithelial recognition and elimination against aberrant cells.
Review in Seminars in immunopathology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Epithelial cells, which are non-immune cells, not only function as a physical defence barrier but also continuously monitor and eliminate aberrant epithelial cells in their vicinity. In other words, it has become evident that epithelial cells possess immune cell-like functions. In fact, recent research has revealed that epithelial cells recognise the Major Histocompatibility Complex I (MHC-I) of aberrant cells as a mechanism for surveillance. This cellular defence mechanism of epithelial cells probably detects aberrant cells more promptly than the conventional immune response, making it a novel and primary biological defence. Furthermore, there is the potential for this new immune-like biological defence mechanism to establish innovative treatment for disease prevention, leading to increasing anticipation for its future medical applications. In this review, we aim to summarise the recognition and attack mechanisms of aberrant cells by epithelial cells in mammals, with a particular focus on the field of cancer. Additionally, we discuss the potential therapeutic applications of epithelial cell-based defence against cancer, including novel prophylactic treatment methods based on molecular mechanisms.
