Manipulating Macrophage/Microglia Polarization to Treat Glioblastoma or Multiple Sclerosis.
Review in Pharmaceutics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers.
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
Macrophages and microglia are implicated in several diseases with divergent roles in physiopathology. This discrepancy can be explained by their capacity to endorse different polarization states. Theoretical extremes of these states are called M1 and M2. M1 are pro-inflammatory, microbicidal, and cytotoxic whereas M2 are anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory cells in favor of tumor progression. In pathological states, these polarizations are dysregulated, thus restoring phenotypes could be an interesting treatment approach against diseases. In this review, we will focus on compounds targeting macrophages and microglia polarization in two very distinctive pathologies: multiple sclerosis and glioblastoma. Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by demyelination and axon degradation. In this case, macrophages and microglia endorse a M1-like phenotype inducing inflammation. Promoting the opposite M2-like polarization could be an interesting treatment strategy. Glioblastoma is a brain tumor in which macrophages and microglia facilitate tumor progression, spreading, and angiogenesis. They are part of the tumor associated macrophages displaying an anti-inflammatory phenotype, thereby inhibiting anti-tumoral immunity. Re-activating them could be a method to limit and reduce tumor progression. These two pathologies will be used to exemplify that targeting the polarization of macrophages and microglia is a promising approach with a broad spectrum of applications deserving more attention.
