Organized immunity in the CNS: what stroke reveals about neuroinflammation and lymphoid niches.
Article in The Journal of clinical investigation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Organized adaptive immunity can emerge in the CNS under specific inflammatory and stromal conditions. The study by Yang et al. in this issue of the JCI reports that experimental ischemic stroke induced germinal center-like B cell follicles through microglial MIF-CD74/CXCR4 signaling and in situ B cell proliferation, promoting chronic neuroinflammation. These findings align with a growing body of evidence that the brain and meninges can support ectopic lymphoid structures in multiple sclerosis, during aging, and in certain gliomas. This Commentary integrates these observations to highlight shared principles, disease-specific outcomes, and unresolved questions regarding the identity and function of lymphoid aggregates in the CNS.
