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

Uveitis is a heterogeneous group of ocular inflammatory diseases that respond inadequately to empiric therapy, underscoring the need to define pathophysiologic subtypes. Toward this goal, we applied single-cell transcriptional and immune receptor profiling to ocular fluid biopsies from 23 patients with diverse clinical features. We found that a subset of ocular T cells undergoes local clonal expansion, indicating that antigens trigger uveitis in some patients. Infiltrates from HLA-B27 associated acute anterior uveitis (HLA-B27 AAU) were enriched in myeloid cells and innate immune signaling pathways, while chronic uveitis featured prominent adaptive immune cells and transcriptional programs, indicating that immunologic features distinguish uveitis subtypes. Clinical features including anatomic involvement were associated with additional variability in the immune cell profile. These insights highlight the potential for deep transcriptional profiling of ocular immune cells to reveal endotypes within uveitis.
