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

The dura mater serves as a critical immunological niche for the central nervous system, yet the mechanisms governing the emergence of this niche in early life remain understudied. Here, we chart the trajectory of dural immune development, uncovering a distinctive function for the murine dura as a transient niche for B lymphopoiesis in the early-postnatal window. Shared embryonic progenitors initiate dural B cell development in concert with a multi-organ wave of extramedullary lymphopoiesis that contributes distinctively to the peripheral B cell pool. In the dura, B cells develop locally in discrete sinus-proximal foci, occupying an anatomically defined and developmentally restricted fibroblast niche. Sinus-proximal fibroblasts express the pro-hematopoietic chemokine CXCL12, and local deletion of this crucial factor severely impairs dural B lymphopoiesis. These data reveal a critical function for dural fibroblasts in shaping the early-life B cell compartment and provide a model for how extramedullary niches may support early-life leukocyte production.
