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 intestinal immune system is constantly challenged to distinguish between innocuous dietary antigens, commensal microbiota and intestinal self-antigens (self-Ags) versus harmful pathogens and malignant cells. It resides in the intestinal wall itself, Peyer's patches (PPs) and the draining lymph nodes (LNs). Dendritic cells (DCs) are found in all of these structures and are professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) dictating and maintaining T cell fate. Here, we review how DCs contribute to immune homeostasis in the gastrointestinal system through multiple strategies: division in labor and strategic anatomical positioning between DC subtypes, plasticity and site-specific functional adaptation. While these properties of DCs are likely not unique to the gastrointestinal tract, it is the site where we have learned most about how this DC network operates.
