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 human tissue-resident T cell pool consists of a diverse array of conventional adaptive as well as unconventional invariant T cells that populate barrier sites and carefully balance immune defense in the context of microbial exposure. Here, we investigated the tissue-resident CD4 T cell compartment across donor-matched lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues and uncovered a population enriched primarily in the ileum and liver displaying a rich polyfunctional profile with diverse T helper 1/17/22 characteristics. These CD4 T cells were highly responsive, susceptible to innate cytokine-driven activation, and identified by CD161 and CD56 coexpression. Their transcriptional and protein expression profile included innate-like effector features including NKp80, NKG2D, NKG7, as well as granzyme K, and exhibited characteristics of tissue residence, persistence, and barrier repair, and they were depleted in the colon of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Notably, the CD161
