T cell exhaustion in parasitic infections.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
T cell exhaustion is a state of progressive functional impairment that occurs upon persistent antigenic stimulation and is a key mechanism by which chronic parasitic infections evade host immunity. As research into T cell exhaustion continues to deepen, immunotherapies targeting exhausted T cells have emerged as a prominent area of interest, particularly in cancers and chronic viral infections. However, T cell exhaustion caused by parasitic infections exhibits significant differences from classic T cell exhaustion observed in chronic viral infections, and understanding how parasites with their complex life cycles and unique immune evasion strategies, drive or modulate T cell exhaustion will be essential for developing targeted therapeutic approaches for diverse diseases. Therefore, this review summarizes the current understanding of mechanisms and research progress regarding T cell exhaustion in the context of chronic infections, with a specific focus on parasitic infections and their different developmental changes, meanwhile raises several key questions which still remain unanswered, aiming to provide insights and references for immunotherapy development in related diseases.
