Functional heterogeneity of γδ T cells in colorectal cancer.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a significant global health concern. Improving the efficacy of immunotherapy, particularly for microsatellite-stable tumors, requires a better understanding of the unconventional T-cell populations that regulate intestinal immunity. γδ T cells are uniquely positioned at the epithelial barrier and function as rapid sentinels, recognizing stress signals independently of classical antigen presentation. In a healthy colon, γδ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and lamina propria lymphocytes (LPLs) form separate compartments influenced by tissue-specific butyrophilin-like (BTNL) interactions, microbiota-derived signals, and cytokine environments. These signals imprint divergent effector programs, ranging from IFN-γ-producing, cytotoxic responses to IL-17-driven tissue repair and inflammation. In CRC, however, these subsets exhibit remarkable plasticity. In mouse models, for example, Vγ1
