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

The spatial distribution of adaptive immune cells is a critical determinant of the quality and magnitude of mucosal immunity. Here, we present a protocol for tyramide signal amplification (TSA) immunofluorescence that preserves the lung architecture and quantifies inducible bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (iBALT) following murine Bordetella bronchiseptica infection. Starting from paraffin-embedded lungs, we describe steps for staining, imaging, and morphometric analysis. This protocol can be optimized for other pathogens and experimental settings to allow mapping of spatial immune responses within the respiratory mucosa. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to First et al.
