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

Despite the identification of several mediators of arteriogenesis, the growth of natural bypass, the role of lymphocytes, particularly T cells, in this process remains poorly defined. Among these, γδ T cells, which express alternative T cell receptors, have emerged as a key immune component. This study examined the roles of αβ and γδ T cells in arteriogenesis using a murine hindlimb model. While the absence of αβ T cells did not affect arteriogenesis, γδ T cell depletion markedly reduced vascular cell proliferation and perfusion recovery. Early phase analyses revealed impaired mast cell activation, whereas platelet-neutrophil aggregates and neutrophil extravasation were unaffected. In the later proliferative phase, γδ T cell depletion hindered perivascular M2-like (MRC1
