Unravelling γδ T-cell dysregulation in the gut and its implications for immune-mediated diseases.
Article in Disease models & mechanisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare condition associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and characterised by systemic inflammation and T-cell dysfunction. A subset of patients with MIS-C were found to harbour rare variants in the gene BTNL8 that disrupt BTNL8-BTNL3 heterodimer formation, likely leading to inadequate γδ T-cell regulation and subsequent disrupted gut homeostasis. MIS-C shares clinical features with Kawasaki disease and similar mechanisms of pathogenesis with inflammatory bowel disease, despite these diseases being clinically distinct entities. We explore the common link between these diseases: the potentially critical role gut immunity plays in the initiation and persistence of disease through the tight regulation of γδ T cells via BTNL8 and BTNL3. Understanding the role of BTNL8 in the context of the overlap between these conditions may aid preventative measures and treatment of these conditions.
