Single-cell analysis of a salmonid immune system (river brown trout Salmo trutta fario) reveals evolutionary divergence and hatchery-induced transcriptional reprogramming.
Article in BMC biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundVertebrate immune systems exhibit striking evolutionary diversity, yet our understanding remains biased toward mammalian models. Here, we generate a single-cell transcriptome of immune cells from the ecologically and economically important salmonid Salmo trutta fario (river brown trout), a lineage characterized by an ancestral whole-genome duplication (WGD).
resultsProfiling over 83,000 kidney-derived immune cells, we resolved 34 transcriptionally distinct populations, identified core immune lineages, and uncovered novel markers in neutrophils, macrophages, T-cells, and B-cells. We detected pervasive transcriptional divergence between WGD-derived ohnologue pairs, indicating putative sub- and neofunctionalization in immune gene regulation. We further show that the transcriptional identity of immune cells is shaped by rearing history: fish raised in hatcheries-whether for one or multiple generations-showed shifts in immune gene expression across cell types.
conclusionsOur findings provide baseline data for the healthy brown trout cellular immune system, insight into the evolution of vertebrate immunity, and avenues for understanding the molecular basis of reduced immunological fitness of hatchery-reared fish.
