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

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by a deficiency within the lungs of regulatory T cells and an excess of Th17 cells, termed T17/Treg imbalance. Conventional dendritic cells type-1 (cDC1) and type-2 (cDC2) are known to drive Treg and Th17 polarization, respectively, but their roles in COPD are incompletely understood. Using a murine cigarette smoke (CS)-exposure model, we found that after 8 wk of CS exposure, the percentage of lung cDC1, but not cDC2, was significantly decreased (
