Macrophages as tissue scavengers, builders, and sensors.
Review in Function (Oxford, England), 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 cellular biology of macrophages underpins the multitude of roles that these cells undertake under homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. Macrophages populate all tissues where they contribute to organ physiology while acting as sensors of health and triggering inflammation in response to organ dysfunction, trauma, and infection. Sharing key characteristics such as a highly developed endocytic compartment, secretion of growth factors and cytokines, motility and antigen presentation, macrophages undergo specific adaptations in each niche guided by environmental clues that result in diverse phenotypes that support tissue-specific roles such as iron recycling, synaptic pruning, bone reabsorption, and processing of lung surfactant. This review will provide an overview of macrophage biology and heterogeneity that underpin their contribution to homeostasis and inflammation to illustrate their importance as therapeutic targets in a wide range of inflammatory diseases.
