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

Schistosomiasis morbidity and mortality are primarily driven by egg-triggered granulomas with subsequent fibrosis. However, the dynamics of cellular composition within these granulomas, particularly the identity and function of key immune cells that orchestrate their formation and evolution, remain poorly understood. Here, we combine single-cell RNA sequencing with multiplex immunofluorescence to characterize the hepatic immune landscape in Schistosoma japonicum-infected mice and further validate the functional roles of two neutrophil subsets. We find that eggs alter hepatic immune cell composition, which is characterized by extensive neutrophil recruitment and differentiation. Neutrophil recruitment correlates with CXCL2 derived from both an autocrine loop and paracrine signaling from monocytes. Cellular localization analysis reveals that granulomas progress through three distinct developmental stages: early Ly6G
