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

Tissues deliver not only antigens and cells via afferent lymphatics to draining lymph nodes during immune responses but also deliver soluble molecules that reflect the state of the tissue. In autoimmune diseases, these signals from affected tissues can potentially impact the magnitude or other characteristics of autoimmune responses generated in lymph nodes. Here, we highlight recent studies illustrating the nature of these soluble signals relevant to lupus skin and in lymphatic fluid draining the gut in inflammatory bowel disease. We also highlight the role of lymph node stromal cells as recipients of lymph borne signals. Identifying the molecules delivered from the tissues and how exactly they modulate immune function in draining lymph nodes will help us to better understand aberrant immunity in disease.
