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

Introduction: Nutrient availability critically governs group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) function and type 2 immunity. Here, we identify the non-essential amino acid asparagine (Asn) as a critical metabolite required for ILC2 survival and function. Methods: We investigated the roles of extracellular Asn availability and asparagine synthetase (ASNS)-mediated de novo Asn biosynthesis in ILC2 responses using complementary in vitro and in vivo approaches, including amino acid restriction, ILC2-specific Results: ASNS, the rate-limiting enzyme for de novo Asn synthesis, was rapidly induced upon ILC2 activation under type 2 inflammatory conditions. When extracellular Asn was limited, ILC2s depended on ASNS-mediated Asn synthesis fueled by glutamine (Gln). Genetic ablation of Discussion: These findings identify Asn as a context-dependent metabolic adaptor that supports ILC2 viability and function under nutrient-limited and type 2 inflammatory conditions.
