Three-dimensional modeling of sensory nerve architecture and eosinophil and mast cell interactions in eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease.
Article in Journal of leukocyte biology, 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
Increased sensory nerve density has been described in type 2 inflammatory conditions and is linked to eosinophil and mast cell infiltration and neuropathic pain. To examine these relationships in eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases, we developed a protocol using Ce3D (clearing-enhanced 3D) tissue clearing to evaluate mucosal gastrointestinal (GI) nerve remodeling and interactions with eosinophils and mast cells in whole-mount GI biopsies. Human gastric and esophageal biopsies were processed for 3-dimensional imaging. Tissues were fixed, permeabilized, and immunolabeled for mucosal nerves (Protein Gene Product 9.5), sensory neurons (substance P), eosinophils (eosinophil peroxidase), mast cells (tryptase), and epithelial cells (pan-cytokeratin). Vacuum-microwave-assisted staining was employed to enhance antibody penetration and protocol efficiency. Samples were cleared with Ce3D and imaged using confocal microscopy. Machine learning-enhanced quantitative analysis and modeling of nerve morphology and cellular interactions, including nerve length, branching, and spatial relationships between eosinophils, mast cells, and sensory neurons were performed. We established a 3-dimensional imaging method for whole-mount GI biopsies to characterize nerve architecture and eosinophil and mast cell interactions in the human esophagus and stomach. This approach enables high resolution and volumetric analyses and can be modified to assess other spatial neuroimmune interactions in human GI mucosal biopsies.
