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

backgroundImmune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, while transformative in cancer treatment, is frequently complicated by immune-related colitis (irColitis), driven by poorly understood mechanisms.

methodsAn integrated analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics was conducted to identify immune cell populations and associated signaling pathways driving irColitis. In vivo murine models of irColitis, along with flow cytometry and qPCR, were used to further validate these findings. To assess the functional roles of specific signaling pathways and cell types in driving irColitis, in vivo blockade of IL-23 and CXCL9/10 signaling was performed using neutralizing antibodies, and intestinal macrophages were depleted using clodronate liposomes. Additionally, the potential impact of these immune cells and signaling pathways on ICB therapy was evaluated through the integration of scRNA-seq and TCR sequencing with qPCR and flow cytometry.
