Unveiling Cell-Type-Specific Immune Reactions in Human Blood Following Varied Fruit and Vegetable Blends Interventions.

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
A diet rich in fruits and vegetables (F&Vs) reduces chronic disease risk by modulating oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, and immune cell activity in the blood. Given the complexity of peripheral blood and its cellular components, understanding cell-type-specific responses to F&V interventions remains essential and challenging. We used CIBERSORTx to analyze immune cell fractions and gene expression profiles from RNA sequencing data of the MiBLEND study, which assessed the impact of seven F&V blends on chronic disease markers, phytochemical absorption, and gene expression changes in blood. Analysis of white blood cells (WBCs) showed no significant changes in proportions of major leukocyte types. CIBERSORTx determined proportions of 22 leukocyte subtypes, correlating with traditional WBC composition. Paired t tests revealed that blends higher in carotenoids, anthocyanins, or complex phytochemicals altered CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratios. A strong positive association was observed between the proportion of memory B cells and beta-carotene levels in peripheral blood following the consumption of Blend 1. Finally, DEGs and pathway analyses showed that some blends affected DNA repair in B cells, NF-kappa B signaling in plasma cells, and endocytosis in dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer (NK) cells. These findings offer clearer insight into immune cell dynamics in blood following F&V interventions, clarifying immune mechanisms involved in their preventive effects.
