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

Despite the wealth of publicly available single-cell datasets, our understanding of distinct resident immune cells and their unique features in diverse human organs remains limited. To address this, we compiled a meta-analysis dataset of 114,275 CD45+ immune cells sourced from 14 organs in healthy donors. While the transcriptome of immune cells remains relatively consistent across organs, our analysis has unveiled organ-specific gene expression differences (GTPX3 in kidney, DNTT and ACVR2B in thymus). These alterations are linked to different transcriptional factor activities and pathways including metabolism. TNF-α signaling through the NFkB pathway was found in several organs and immune compartments. The presence of distinct expression profiles for NFkB family genes and their target genes, including cytokines, underscores their pivotal role in cell positioning. Taken together, immune cells serve a dual role: safeguarding the organs and dynamically adjusting to the intricacies of the host organ environment, thereby actively contributing to its functionality and overall homeostasis.
