Beware of host immune responses towards bacteriophages potentially impacting phage therapy.
Article in Veterinary research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The rising spread of antimicrobial resistance challenges animal welfare, productivity and food supply with respect to bacterial infections in different livestock species. Bacteriophages offer alternative means to control infections with resistant bacteria. This work investigated the host immune responses towards lytic bacteriophages K and T1, acting respectively on Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria. We employed an ex vivo platform to decipher various immune responses elicited by primary blood cells of eight outbred cattle. Bacteriophage K was not recognized whereas bacteriophage T1 induced a profound immune response. Therefore, prior characterization of host immune responses towards therapeutic phages should be considered before therapy starts.
