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

Tissue-resident memory cells contribute to allergen-induced inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness, but relatively little is known of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of these cells in the lung. Here, we show that allergen-specific CD4+ resident memory T cells are virtually absent in lungs of mice lacking Batf3, a transcription factor required for the development of type 1 lung dendritic cells (cDC1). These animals become sensitized to inhaled allergens and display normal responses in a short-term house dust mite-dependent model of asthma. However, they have strongly reduced airway inflammation and weak airway hyperresponsiveness in a similar, but long-term model of asthma. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that Batf3-deficient mice lack a subset of lung-resident CD4+ T cells characterized by expression of the chemokine receptor-encoding gene, Cxcr6. Together, these data show that Batf3 promotes the development of CD4+ resident memory T cells and thus allergic responses to inhaled allergens.
