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

Introduction: Methods: Thirty-six mice were divided into six groups: normal control (NC), isotype control (IC), infection groups at different time points (3, 7, and 14 days post-infection, designated as Inf-3d, Inf-7d, and Inf-14d, respectively), and an IL-25 blockade group (IL-25 Blk-7d, in which mice received anti-IL-25 neutralizing antibody treatment prior to Results: The results showed that the numbers of tuft cells and ILC2s in the mouse intestine increased following Discussion: These findings confirm that the activation of the tuft cell-ILC2 circuit is dependent on the regulatory role of IL-25. These findings extend the antimicrobial role of the tuft cell-ILC2 circuit beyond parasitic immunity and identify IL-25 as an essential regulatory mediator in antibacterial defense at the intestinal mucosa.
