Transport Stress Induces Neuroimmune Dysregulation and Exacerbates Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection in Mice.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Transport stress (TS) significantly impacts immune function and infection, of which the cellular and molecular mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the effects of TS on immune responses and its role in exacerbating Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. TS induced anxiety-like behaviors, disrupted hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis homeostasis, altered hormone secretion patterns, and led to dysregulation of stress response genes in mice. Single-cell RNA sequencing of the spleen revealed severe immune dysfunction upon TS, characterized by inhibition of Th17 differentiation, IL-17 signaling, and antigen presentation. Importantly, TS affects the crosstalk between the HPA axis and the spleen through ligand-receptor interactions. Furthermore, TS exacerbated the severity of Mtb infection and disturbed infection-induced gene regulation. TS impairs Th1/Th2 differentiation through neuroendocrine immune dysregulation, and also compromises macrophage immune function, further weakening host defense. These findings could greatly contribute to understanding TS-induced neuroendocrine immune regulation and deteriorated infection.
