Primary sclerosing cholangitis displays distinct colonic mucosa topography yet a shared mast cell state with ulcerative colitis.

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
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic, progressing cholestatic disease that often co-occurs with inflammatory bowel disease (PSC-IBD). PSC-IBD affecting the colon (PSC-ulcerative colitis or PSC-UC) resembles clinical UC, but is characterised by less severe disease flares, right-colon predominance, and a greater lifetime risk of colorectal cancer than UC alone. To elucidate differences in the underlying biology between PSC-UC and UC, here we combine single-cell mRNA and antigen receptor sequencing, 16S ribosomal RNA gene analysis and spatial transcriptomics on biopsies from four colon regions of patients with PSC-UC and UC during endoscopic remission or at the time of relapse. We show that the PSC-UC colon, compared to healthy control (HC) or UC colon, harbours distinct and region-specific mucosal-adherent microbial communities and an enrichment of activated CD8 T and γδ T cells at the right colon, even in the absence of histological inflammation. By contrast, a TMEM176B
