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

Trained immunity is reshaping our understanding of host defense by demonstrating that innate immune cells once thought to lack memory can be reprogrammed to mount heightened responses to subsequent challenges. Unlike tolerance, differentiation, or priming, trained immunity relies on epigenetic and metabolic rewiring of resident myeloid cells, particularly in mucosal barriers such as the skin, gut, and lungs, where these cells provide continuous protection against toxins and pathogens. Here, we review recent advances showing how an initial stimulus endows monocytes and macrophages with long-lasting functional changes that can be either protective or maladaptive upon re-exposure. We highlight therapeutic opportunities that harness trained immunity to boost vaccine efficacy and discuss strategies to modulate this program in cancer and hyper-inflammatory disorders. Finally, we propose new directions for enhancing or dampening trained immunity to promote human health.
