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

backgroundTrichinella spiralis adult excretory-secretory antigen (TsAES) has been proposed as a potential immunomodulator capable of promoting naïve T cell differentiation into peripheral regulatory T cells (pTregs). This study aims to investigate the effects of TsAES on pTreg development and evaluate its role in alleviating dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis.

methodsColonic lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMC) from Foxp3

resultsFlow cytometry analysis demonstrated that TsAES stimulation promoted LPMC differentiation into Tregs, leading to a significant increase in pTregs within the colonic lamina propria of TsAES-immunized Foxp3

conclusionsTsAES demonstrates tumor growth factor-beta-like activity, driving pTreg differentiation and suppressing DSS-induced colitis with IL-10 upregulation. These findings highlight a beneficial clinical effect of helminth-derived antigens on the immunomodulation and management of inflammatory bowel disease.
