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

ILC2s are key players in type 2 immunity and contribute to maintaining homeostasis. ILC2s are also implicated in the development of type 2 inflammation-mediated chronic disorders like asthma. While memory ILC2s have been identified in mouse, it is unknown whether human ILC2s can acquire immunological memory. Here, we demonstrate the persistence of CD45RO, a marker previously linked to inflammatory ILC2s, in resting ILC2s that have undergone prior activation. A high proportion of these cells concurrently reduce the expression of the canonical ILC marker CD127 in a tissue-specific manner. Upon isolation and in vitro stimulation of CD127-CD45RO+ ILC2s, we observed an augmented ability to proliferate and produce cytokines. CD127-CD45RO+ ILC2s are found in both healthy and inflamed tissues and display a gene signature of cell activation. Similarly, mouse memory ILC2s show reduced expression of CD127. Our findings suggest that human ILC2s can acquire innate immune memory and warrant a revision of the current strategies to identify human ILC2s.
