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

backgroundLung macrophages are central regulators of inflammatory responses in the airways and lung parenchyma. Macrophages function as conduits for cytokine function in the inflammatory milieu. We previously demonstrated that IL-9-responsive macrophages are essential for allergic lung inflammation in an arginase 1 (Arg1) pathway.

objectiveWe defined the IL-9/Arg1/polyamine pathway in human macrophages from model systems and asthmatic patient samples.

methodsUsing humanized NSG-Quad mice treated with intranasal IL-9 and patient bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples, we evaluated macrophage phenotypes via flow cytometry, bulk RNA sequencing, and metabolic assays.

resultsTwo distinct human lung macrophage populations were defined by the expression of CD43. IL-9 promoted the expansion of IL-9R

conclusionsIL-9-responsive CD206
