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

The mammalian gut is a vast, diverse, and dynamic single-layer epithelial surface exposed to trillions of microbes, microbial products, and the diet. Underlying this epithelium lies the largest collection of immune cells in the body; these cells encounter luminal substances to generate antigen-specific immune responses characterized by tolerance at homeostasis and inflammation during enteric infections. How the outcomes of antigen-specific tolerance and inflammation are appropriately balanced is a central question in mucosal immunology. Furthermore, how substances large enough to generate antigen-specific responses cross the epithelium and encounter the immune system in homeostasis and during inflammation remains largely unexplored. Here we discuss the challenges presented to the gut immune system, the identified pathways by which luminal substances cross the epithelium, and insights suggesting that the pathways used by substances to cross the epithelium affect the ensuing immune response.
