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

Objectives: Here, we characterised the diversity and persistence of immunological memory cells-particularly tissue-resident memory T (T Methods: Nasopharynx (NP) samples were obtained using brushing from HV and BR subjects. Immune cell populations were analysed using transcriptomic profiling and flow cytometry. Results: Transcriptomic profiling revealed that the NP of SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals exhibited distinctive signatures of lymphocyte-mediated immunity, underscoring its role as a key site for viral invasion and immune activation. Effector memory CD4+ and CD8+ T (T Conclusion: Our findings identify the nasopharynx as a key site of long-lived immunological memory, marked by persistent T
