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

Peyer's patches (PPs) are sites of antigen entry and immunoinduction in the small intestine. In PPs, pathogens are transferred through microfold (M) cells; however, the mechanisms of antigen capture by mononuclear phagocytes beneath M cells remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that bacterial metabolite pyruvate acted on lysozyme-expressing dendritic cells (LysoDCs), a monocyte-derived phagocyte subset, and induced protrusion of dendrites particularly with "balloon" shapes into basolateral M-cell pockets via its receptor, G-protein coupled receptor 31 (GPR31). Pyruvate administration in wild-type but not
