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

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in mediating recovery from acute lung injury (ALI). However, the complex roles of functionally heterogeneous Treg subsets in the lung during the resolution of acute inflammation remain unclear. To investigate the role of peripherally induced Tregs, we utilized mice lacking conserved noncoding sequence 1 (CNS1) of the Foxp3 locus, a genetic deletion that impairs peripheral Treg induction. We found that CNS1-deficient mice exhibit greater mortality and delayed resolution during ALI. Tregs induced via CNS1 modulated antiviral and proinflammatory immune responses in the lung during influenza. Mechanistically, single-cell RNA sequencing reveals that CNS1-deficient Tregs fail to fully engage the Treg transcriptional program that supports optimal suppressive and reparative function in the lung. Our findings highlight a critical role for CNS1-dependent peripherally induced Tregs in determining ALI severity, providing insight into how distinct Treg subpopulations may be therapeutically harnessed to mitigate tissue damage during respiratory disease.
