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

Trypsin is commonly used as an adjunctive therapeutic agent for chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This study investigated the impact of trypsinogen (PRSS1) variants on type 2 immune responses mediated by M2 macrophage polarization in immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Whole-exome sequencing of affected tissue samples from patients with IgG4-RD, including two cases of IgG4-related autoimmune pancreatitis and one case of Mikulicz disease, identified novel PRSS1 variants, namely p.Lys70Asn and p.Phe73Leu. Activation of M2 macrophages was observed in these affected tissues. By integrating single-cell RNA sequencing datasets with spatial transcriptomic analysis of pancreatic tissues from mutation-positive cases, we found that molecules produced by M2 macrophages, including TGF-β, may promote type 2 immune responses. In conclusion, novel PRSS1 variants may contribute to the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD by activating type 2 immune responses.
