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

Th2 cells must sense and adapt to the tissue milieu to provide protective host immunity and tissue repair. Here, we examined the mechanisms promoting Th2 cell differentiation and function within the small intestinal lamina propria. Single cell RNA-seq analyses of CD4+ T cells from the small intestinal lamina propria of helminth infected mice revealed high expression of the gene Epas1, encoding the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 2a (HIF2α). In vitro, exposure to hypoxia or genetic HIF2α activation promoted Th2 cell differentiation, even under non-polarizing conditions. In mice, HIF2α activation in CD4+ T cells promoted intestinal Th2 cell accumulation in the absence of infection, and HIF2α-deficiency impaired CD4+ T cell-mediated host immunity to intestinal helminth infection. Our findings identified hypoxia, and the oxygen-regulated transcription factor Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 2α (HIF2α), as key regulators of Th2 cell differentiation and function within the small intestine.
