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

Stephanie Langel works in the field of breast milk immunity and maternal-neonatal health. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how three pivotal papers-Roux et al. (J Exp Med 146:1311-1322, 1977, https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.146.5.1311), Wilson and Butcher (J Exp Med 200:805-809, 2004, https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20041069), and Rogier et al. (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 111:3074-3079, 2014, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1315792111)-made an impact on her by uncovering the critical pathways and mechanisms through which gut-derived IgA-secreting cells migrate to the mammary gland and secrete antibodies against intestinal microbes. These foundational studies shaped her understanding of the gut-mammary axis and continue to inspire her research aimed at advancing maternal and neonatal health through breast milk immunology.
