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

The human immune system is made up of a huge variety of cell types each with unique functions. Local networks of resident immune cells are poised to sense and protect against pathogen entry, whereas more widespread innate and adaptive immune networks provide first rapid, then long-lasting and targeted responses. However, how we develop such a diverse and complex system remains unknown. Studying human development directly has been challenging in the past, but recent advances in single-cell and spatial genomics, together with the co-ordinated efforts of the Human Cell Atlas and other initiatives, have led to new studies that map the development of the human immune system in unprecedented detail. In this Review, we consider the timings, transitions, cell types and tissue microenvironments that are crucial for building the human immune system. We also compare and contrast the human system with model species and in vitro systems, and discuss how an understanding of prenatal immune system development will improve our knowledge of human disease.
