Estrogen Induced Regulation of Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells in Asthma.
Article in Journal of immunology research, 2026. 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
Asthma affects over 300 million people worldwide, with increasing rates annually. Males have higher asthma prevalence in adolescence, while females exhibit higher rates in adulthood. Reduced mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are found in severe asthmatic airway disease. We hypothesize MAIT cells modulate airway inflammation and are regulated by sex hormones through their cognate hormone receptors. We compared circulating MAIT cells and ex vivo MAIT cell activation with MR-1 ligand in controls and asthmatic individuals. MAIT cells were significantly lower in asthmatic males and females compared to healthy controls. MAIT cells derived from male and female asthma patients exhibited higher levels of estrogen receptors (ERs) than those from sex-matched healthy controls, and ex vivo treatment with estrogen significantly decreased IFN-γ production in asthmatics. Estrogen treatment did not reduce IFN-γ in MAIT cells from healthy individuals. To explore the effect of estrogen on MAIT cells, we used the murine Alternaria alternata challenge model.
