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

Type 2 immunity is a defining feature of helminth infection and is traditionally viewed as protective, promoting parasite expulsion, tissue repair, and/or suppression of bystander antigens. However, work in allergic disease has demonstrated that Th2 cells are not functionally uniform but instead comprise specialized subsets, including highly differentiated pathogenic Th2 populations characterized by sustained IL-5/13 production, epithelial alarmin responsiveness, and stable tissue residency. The presence of these cells is associated with immunopathology and worse clinical outcomes. Interestingly, many helminth-associated pathologies, including granulomatous fibrosis in schistosomiasis, pulmonary injury during
