Metabolic regulation of T cell production of IL-10 and IL-22 protects against intestinal inflammation.
Article in Precision clinical medicine, 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
Objectives: Inflammatory bowel disease is driven by dysregulated CD4⁺ T cell responses to the intestinal microbiota. While T cells can exacerbate inflammation by producing proinflammatory cytokines, they also produce anti-inflammatory mediators, such as interleukin 10 (IL-10) and IL-22. However, the metabolic programs that regulate IL-10 and IL-22 production remain incompletely defined. Methods: We used CBir1 transgenic mice and Results: Among tested metabolic inhibitors, dichloroacetate (DCA) significantly enhanced IL-10 and IL-22 production by CD4⁺ T cells. DCA increased maximal oxygen consumption and decreased lactate secretion in T cells. Mechanistically, DCA upregulated aryl hydrocarbon receptor ( Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that DCA enhances IL-22 and IL-10 production in Th1 cells through Ahr and Bhlhe40, respectively. These results identify a novel metabolic mechanism by which DCA promotes mucosal immune regulation and highlight its potential as a therapeutic strategy for inflammatory bowel disease.
