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

Microbiota play a critical role in the development and training of host innate and adaptive immunity. We present the cellular landscape of the upper airway, specifically the larynx, by establishing a reference single-cell atlas, while dissecting the role of microbiota in cell development and function at single-cell resolution. We highlight the larynx's cellular heterogeneity with the identification of 16 cell types and 34 distinct subclusters. Our data demonstrate that commensal microbiota have extensive impact on the laryngeal immune system by regulating cell differentiation, increasing the expression of genes associated with host defense, and altering gene regulatory networks. We uncover macrophages, innate lymphoid cells, and multiple secretory epithelial cells, whose cell proportions and expressions vary with microbial exposure. These cell types play pivotal roles in maintaining laryngeal and upper airway health and provide specific guidance into understanding the mechanism of immune system regulation by microbiota in laryngeal health and disease.
