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

Lymphedema is an intractable disease most commonly associated with lymph node dissection for cancer treatment and can lead to a decreased quality of life. Type 2 T helper (Th2) lymphocytes have been shown to be important in the progression of lymphedema. The activation of IL-33 and its receptor, the suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) signaling pathway, induces the differentiation of Th2 cells, but its involvement in lymphedema remains unclear. In the present study, we analyzed the dynamics of immune cell infiltration, including the IL-33/ST2 axis, in a mouse tail lymphedema model. Neutrophil infiltration was first detected in the lymphedema tissue on postoperative day (POD) 2. Macrophage infiltration increased from POD 2 to 5. The number of CD4
