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

Tissue-resident natural killer (trNK) cells are present in the human lung, yet their metabolic function is unknown. NK cell effector and metabolic function are intrinsically linked therefore targeting metabolism presents therapeutic potential in supporting NK cell effector function. This study identifies trNK cells in human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and reveals their distinct metabolic function. To assess the differential phenotype and metabolism of NK cells in the lung, human BALF, and peripheral blood were evaluated by flow cytometry and SCENITH
