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

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are tissue-resident immune sentinels that play pivotal roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis, orchestrating immune responses, and modulating metabolic balance. They rapidly respond to environmental cues and interplay with other immune cells, thereby mediating host defense and facilitating tissue repair. However, dysregulation of ILC responses is increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of a broad spectrum of diseases. This review provides a comprehensive overview of ILC biology, beginning with their classification, plasticity, and homeostatic functions. We then dissect the complex, dual roles of ILCs across various pathological conditions. Using sepsis as a paradigmatic example of immune dysregulation, we illustrate how ILCs orchestrate both protective immunity and pathological role in a context-dependent manner. Furthermore, we extend the discussion to cancer, chronic inflammatory diseases, and metabolic disorders, highlighting the tissue-specific functions of ILC subsets. Finally, we synthesize emerging ILC-targeted therapeutic strategies and future research directions, proposing that a nuanced understanding of ILC biology is essential for developing novel immunotherapies aimed at restoring immune homeostasis in human diseases.
