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

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from interior decorations are suggested to pose substantial respiratory hazards as they disturb the immune response in the lung. Despite this, the characteristics and mechanisms underlying immune cell responses to real-world VOC mixtures, rather than previously individual or dominant VOC species, remain poorly understood. Employing a whole-body inhalation exposure model, we reveal that interior decorative VOCs alter pulmonary immune cell profiles with a persistent increase in alveolar T cells. This sustained elevation results from intensified lymphoid-biased hematopoiesis in the bone marrow (BM) rather than in situ lung, which is followed by thymic maturation and subsequent recruitment to lung tissues. The ex vivo biosensor and antibody neutralization assays clarify that VOCs-induced lymphoid-biased hematopoiesis is primarily driven by osteogenic differentiation within the BM niche, a process further regulated by interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-17A (IL-17A). Moreover, the cohort study associates VOCs-expanded lymphocytes with increased risks of obstructive lung diseases, where exposed individuals show elevated IL-6 and IL-17A levels, correlating with VOC concentrations and lymphocyte proportions. These findings highlight compelling indicators (i.e., T cells) and potential interventions (i.e., IL-6 and IL-17A) for evaluating and mitigating VOC-associated respiratory risks.
