Dynamics of T Cell-Mediated Immune Signaling Network During Pathogenesis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Article in Yonsei medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
purposeChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by alveolar destruction and increased inflammation, leading to respiratory symptoms. This study aimed to identify the traits for COPD progression from mild to severe stages. Additionally, we explored the correlation between coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and COPD to uncover overlapping respiratory patterns. MATERIALS AND
methodsBulk RNA sequencing was conducted on data from 43 healthy individuals and 39 COPD patients across one dataset (GSE239897) to distinguish COPD characteristics. Single-cell RNA analysis was then performed on samples from seven mild patients, seven moderate patients, and three severe patients from three datasets (GSE167295, GSE173896, and GSE227691) to analyze disease progression. Finally, single-nuclei RNA analysis was applied to data from seven healthy individuals and 20 COVID-19 patients from one dataset (GSE171524) to compare the two conditions.
resultsBulk RNA sequencing revealed enhanced inflammatory pathways in COPD patients, indicating increased inflammation. Single-cell RNA sequencing showed a stronger inflammatory response from mild to moderate COPD with a decrease from moderate to severe stages. COVID-19 displayed similar biological patterns to moderate COPD, suggesting that stage-specific COPD analysis could enhance COVID-19 management.
conclusionThe analysis found that immune responses increased from mild to moderate stages but declined in severe cases, marked by reduced pulmonary T cell activation. The overlap between moderate COPD and COVID-19 suggests shared therapeutic strategies, warranting further investigation.
