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

Eosinophils accumulate in different tissues in allergies, cancer, and infectious diseases, adopting distinct properties. Herein, we profiled murine esophageal eosinophils during allergic inflammation using single-cell sequencing, epigenomic mapping, and flow cytometry. Esophageal eosinophils displayed an altered chromatin accessibility profile compared to bone marrow eosinophils, with 761 epi-transcriptionally regulated genes enriched in inflammation, immunoregulation, bacterial sensing, angiogenesis, migration, and apoptosis. The local environment entrains the unique esophageal eosinophil immunophenotype, as suggested by eosinophil-esophageal epithelial co-cultures, esophageal eosinophil transcriptional similarities regardless of the upstream cytokines driving their esophageal localization, and transcription factor gene editing altering esophageal eosinophilia and the associated eosinophil and global esophageal transcriptomes. Finally, the epigenomic and transcriptomic properties of murine esophageal eosinophils are largely conserved in humans. Thus, our data indicate that tissue specialization of esophageal eosinophils is entrained by local environmental cues that induce genome-wide epigenetic reprogramming and regulated by discrete transcription factors and provide a public, epigenetic database of murine tissue eosinophils.
