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

Background: More and more studies have shown that the immune system regulates the body's response to hypoxic stress. Immune dysregulation may increase vascular permeability, leading to edema and tissue damage, thereby causing high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). Here, we found an increase in lung dendritic cells (DCs) in rat and mouse models of HAPE, but its specific role in HAPE remains unclear. Methods: In this study, the function of rat lung DCs and its impact on T cells were analyzed through single-cell sequencing, flow cytometry and Results: We demonstrated that hypobaric hypoxia (HH) induced the recruitment of pulmonary DCs in rats and promoted the immunosuppression of T cells (especially CD4 Conclusions: Our results indicate that hypoxia induces the recruitment of DCs in the lung and mediates the differentiation of T cells into immunosuppressive phenotypes in HAPE rat and mouse models, thereby delaying the progression of HAPE. These findings highlight the potential approach of using immune regulation as a treatment for HAPE.
