Comparative analysis of human gut- and blood-derived mononuclear cells: contrasts in function and phenotype.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: Alterations in the gut immune system have been implicated in various diseases.The challenge of obtaining gut tissues from healthy individuals, commonly performed via surgical explants, has limited the number of studies describing the phenotype and function of gut-derived immune cells in health. Methods: Here, by means of recto-sigmoid colon biopsies obtained during routine care (colon cancer screening in healthy adults), the phenotype and function of immune cells present in the gut were described and compared to those found in blood. Results: The proportion of CD4 Discussion: These findings demonstrate the differences in functionality of these cells when compared to their blood counterparts and validate previous studies on phenotype within gut-derived immune cells in humans (where cells have been obtained through surgical means). This study suggests that recto-sigmoid biopsies collected during colonoscopy can be a reliable yet more accessible sampling method for follow up of alterations of gut derived immune cells in clinical settings.
