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

Introduction: Group 3 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC3s) are important for maintaining intestinal homeostasis and host defense. Emerging studies have shown that metabolic regulation plays a crucial role in regulating ILC3 activation and function. However, the role of Liver Kinase B1 (LKB1), a key metabolic regulator, in regulating ILC3 function and intestinal immunity remains poorly understood. Methods: To investigate the role of LKB1 in intestinal ILC3s, we generated LKB1 conditional knockout mice by crossing Results: In this study, we show that LKB1 is essential for ILC3 postnatal development, effector function, and intestinal immunity. LKB1-deficient mice exhibit a marked decrease in ILC3 number at 2 -3 weeks after birth. Ablation of LKB1 in ILC3s results in diminished IL-22 production and less protection against Discussion: Our findings reveal that LKB1 is a key regulator of intestinal ILC3 development, function, and metabolism, thereby linking metabolic control to intestinal immune homeostasis and offering potential therapeutic implications.
