Macrophages modulate skeletal muscle wasting and recovery in acute lung injury in mice.
Article in Physiological reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Skeletal muscle dysfunction in critical illnesses leaves survivors weak and functionally impaired. Macrophages infiltrate muscles; however, their functional role is unclear. We aim to examine muscle leukocyte composition and the effect of macrophages on muscle mass and function in the murine acute lung injury (ALI)-associated skeletal muscle wasting model. We performed flow cytometry of hindlimb muscle to identify myeloid cells pre-injury and time points up to 29 days after intratracheal lipopolysaccharide ALI. We evaluated muscle force and morphometrics after systemic and intramuscular clodronate-induced macrophage depletions between peak lung injury and recovery (day 5-6) versus vehicle control. Our results show muscle leukocytes changed over ALI course with day 3 neutrophil infiltration (130.5 ± 95.6cells/mg control to 236.3 ± 70.6cells/mg day 3) and increased day 10 monocyte abundance (5.0 ± 3.4%CD45
