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

backgroundNumerous studies have demonstrated the promising efficacy of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in the treatment of couples with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL) during early pregnancy. While neutrophils are recognised as the main effectors mediating immunoregulation, their G-CSF-mobilised phenotype and mechanisms regulating maternal-fetal immunity remain unclear.

methodsSingle-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell T-cell receptor sequencing (scTCR-seq) were conducted to uncover the immune reconstitution dynamics of peripheral blood under G-CSF stimulation. Integrative analysis of transcriptomic-proteomic profiles with functional validation revealed a unique immunomodulatory neutrophil population. Further, we used spatial transcriptomics, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry to explore the spatial distribution characteristics of this population at the maternal-fetal interface, and validated its therapeutic efficacy in animal models.

resultsG-CSF-mobilised peripheral blood (G-PB) displayed immune hyporesponsiveness. Unique neutrophils expressing high levels of CD177 and the S100A gene family expanded substantially in response to G-CSF. These neutrophils exhibited a comparatively immature morphology and impaired T-cell responses via contact-dependent arginase 1 release, as well as upregulation of T-cell immune checkpoints. A reduction of CD177

conclusionG-CSF played a crucial regulatory role in improving pregnancy outcomes by selectively expanding CD177⁺S100A KEY POINTS: G-CSF induces peripheral blood immune hyporesponsiveness in patients with UPRL. First to characterize G-CSF mobilised CD177
