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

Shellfish allergy is the most common food allergy in adults and the third most common in children. γδ T cells have been identified as playing a critical role in antigen tolerance in allergic diseases in mouse models. In humans, γδ T cells may play a regulatory role in peanut immunotherapy, and their role in shrimp allergy remains unclear. We hypothesized γδ T cells play a regulatory role in shrimp allergic disease. We performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) on peripheral cells from shrimp allergic (SA) and healthy control (HC) subjects after stimulation with shrimp tropomyosin. This revealed a significant expansion of γδ T cells with three distinct clusters. One γδ T cell cluster predominated in SA, characterized as CD8+ with a cytotoxic expression profile. We found significant upregulation of TGF-β1 and downregulation of IL-7R in SA-stimulated γδ T cells, and IL-10RA expression in stimulated SA total PBMCs. γδ T cells may play a role in shrimp allergic disease through lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxin signaling and cytokine-mediated signaling pathways, including TGFβ-1, IL7/TSLP-IL7R, and IL10-IL10R pathways.
