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

Influenza-associated bacterial super-infections in the lung lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have investigated how preceding viral infection causes dysregulation of the innate and adaptive immune systems, leading to increased susceptibility of developing secondary bacterial pneumonia. However, these previous studies cannot account for the spatial context of immune cells in lung. In our study, we employ a spatial transcriptomics platform (10X Genomics Visium) to systematically characterize the coordination of immune cells during super-infection. We compare deconvoluted spatial transcriptomics data between super-infection and single influenza and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections. Consequently, we find that the recruitment of neutrophils and interstitial macrophages from lung parenchyma to the airways is inhibited in super-infection, likely impairing pathogen clearance. Additionally, by analyzing cell colocalization and signaling, we find that the interaction between CD4
