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

Tissue resident regulatory T cells (tissue Tregs) are vital for maintaining immune homeostasis and controlling inflammation. They aid in repairing damaged tissues and influencing the progression of fibrosis. However, despite extensive research on how tissue Tregs interact with immune and non-immune cells during tissue repair, their pro- and anti-fibrotic effects in chronic tissue injury remain unclear. Understanding how tissue Tregs interact with various cell types, as well as their roles in chronic injury and fibrosis, is crucial for uncovering the mechanisms behind these conditions. In this review, we describe the roles of tissue Tregs in repair and fibrosis across different tissues and explore potential strategies for regulating tissue homeostasis. These insights hold promise for providing new perspectives and approaches for the treatment of irreversible fibrotic diseases.
