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 are multifunctional granulocytes involved in immune regulation, metabolism and tissue repair; however, the extent of their heterogeneity across tissues and the principles governing their specialization are not well defined. Here, we present a single-cell transcriptomic and proteomic atlas of mouse eosinophils spanning immune, barrier and metabolic sites. By integrating transcriptional profiling, high-dimensional surface proteomics and in vivo fate mapping, we show that eosinophil identity is shaped by both tissue-derived cues and the duration of local residency. Long-lived eosinophils in the small intestine diversify into transcriptionally and phenotypically distinct subsets, whereas short-lived and intermediate-lived populations in the lungs and colon, respectively, remain comparatively uniform. We identify trajectory-associated surface markers that stratify eosinophil maturation from bone-marrow progenitors to long-term tissue-resident subsets. This atlas establishes a unified framework in which tissue-specific residency time drives eosinophil maturation and diversification, providing a molecular toolkit for resolving eosinophil states in health and disease.
