Sex, cells, and metabolism: Androgens temper Th17-mediated immunity.
Article in The Journal of clinical investigation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Sex-based differences in autoimmune disease susceptibility have long been recognized, prompting investigations into how sex hormones influence immunity. Recent advances suggest that hormones may shape immune responses by altering cellular metabolism. In this issue of the JCI, Chowdhury et al. authenticates this model, showing that androgen receptor signaling modulates T helper 17 (Th17) cell metabolism, specifically glutaminolysis, reducing airway inflammation in males. This work provides insight into sex-specific regulation of immunity, highlighting the interplay between hormones, metabolism, and immune function. The findings raise intriguing questions about how hormonal fluctuations affect immunity and how sex-specific metabolic pathways might be leveraged for targeted therapies in autoimmune diseases.
