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

Monocytes populate tissues when local niches are depleted of tissue-resident macrophages, yet the tissue-derived signals controlling monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation are largely undefined. Here, we discovered that the oxysterol receptor GPR183 positions monocytes to sense niche signals that induce lung macrophage differentiation. We found that interstitial macrophages that continuously turn over express the oxysterol receptor GPR183, whereas alveolar macrophages that derive from embryonic progenitors and slowly turn over did not. Models of conditional tissue-resident macrophage depletion showed that newcomer monocyte-derived macrophages expressed GPR183 along their differentiation trajectory. Recruited GPR183+ monocytes interacted with fibroblasts and lack of GPR183 caused defective lung macrophage differentiation. Single-cell RNA analysis over time identified lung fibroblasts as the source of the GPR183 ligand 7α,25-dihydroxycholesterol in the empty niche. Our findings identify oxysterols as instructive signals for tissue-resident macrophage development from monocytes.
