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

In order to preserve homeostasis, macrophages-phagocytic innate immune cells-interact with different tissue types, modulating immunological responses and secreting a variety of cytokines. They are extensively dispersed throughout the body's tissues and organs. Based on their developmental origins, tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) in humans can be classified into those of embryonic origin and those derived from bone marrow-derived monocytes (BMDMs); embryonically derived macrophages emerge during early development, possess self-renewal capacity, and persist into adulthood in specific tissues such as microglia in the brain and Kupffer cells in the liver, whereas BMDMs originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow via monocytic differentiation, infiltrate tissues during inflammation or injury, and differentiate into macrophages that transiently reside in tissues but lack self-renewal capability, thus requiring continuous replenishment. Because of their flexibility and diversity, macrophages participate in a variety of physiological and pathological processes by changing phenotypically and functionally in response to microenvironmental stimuli. This process is known as macrophage polarization. As a consequence, macrophage cultivation
