A four-dimensional framework for classifying functional states in immune cells.
Article in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The immune system protects against pathogens, responds to abiotic stress, maintains homeostasis, and supports tissue repair. Recent work identified four transcriptional dimensions of immune variation-immune resistance, inflammation, metabolism, and tissue repair-each linked to distinct cellular functions. Here, we integrate the analysis of these four dimensions (4D) across multiple immune-mediated diseases and show that they are distinct yet complementary, jointly explain a substantial fraction of inter-individual transcriptional variation, and coexist at the molecular level across diverse immune cell types. We further show that this 4D model captures the main recurrent patterns of immune variation across diseases and is robust even in the case of incomplete and noisy data. These findings suggest that the transcriptional 4D model provides a framework for classifying immune conditions regardless of disease type. We further demonstrate and discuss how this 4D classification can be used to improve the approach to prophylactic and therapeutic interventions.
