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

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promote the recruitment of eosinophils by secreting large amounts of type 2 cytokines (IL-5 and IL-13), thus triggering the main feature of asthma, pathological inflammation. Recent insights from mouse and human studies indicated a potential relationship between ILC2s and macrophages. However, the mechanism by which lung M2 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (M2 EVs) regulate ILC2s remains unclear. Here the size, morphology and specific markers of M2 EVs were successfully characterized in the lungs. Furthermore, we discovered that M2 EVs strongly promoted type 2 immune inflammation induced by papain. Mechanistically, M2 EVs were internalized by ILC2s, triggering ILC2s activation and inducing pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-5 and IL-13) production. M2 EVs also indirectly enhanced the function of ILC2s through macrophages and CD4
