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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsAutoimmune hepatitis is an immune-mediated liver disease characterized by chronic inflammation and progressive fibrosis. Tissue-resident memory T cells mediate organ-specific immunity, but their role in autoimmune hepatitis remains poorly understood. We characterized tissue-residency-associated T-cell populations and their cytokine profiles, assessed associations with disease severity and determined whether these signatures were reflected in peripheral blood.

methodsPaired blood and liver samples were obtained from 19 patients with autoimmune hepatitis. Comparator cohorts included 20 patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and 20 surgical patients providing non-inflamed adjacent non-tumorous liver tissue. Multiparameter flow cytometry assessed tissue-residency markers, T-cell differentiation and cytokine production after polyclonal stimulation. Immune phenotypes were correlated with histological and clinical parameters.

resultsAutoimmune hepatitis was associated with compartment-specific remodelling of T-cell differentiation states and intrahepatic enrichment of CD8

conclusionsAutoimmune hepatitis was characterized by intrahepatic accumulation of phenotypically distinct and functionally active CD8
