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

Tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) are essential regulators of tissue homeostasis and regeneration across multiple organs. While their roles in systems such as the liver, brain, and skin have been increasingly clarified, their functions in bone remain markedly understudied. This review begins by outlining the established roles of TRMs in immune regulation and tissue repair to provide a conceptual framework for understanding their skeletal counterparts, known as osteal resident macrophages (ORMs). We then summarize current evidence for ORM involvement in bone homeostasis and regeneration and highlight the major challenges in bone TRM research. Clarifying the cellular identity and regulation of ORMs will help define their roles in bone homeostasis and repair, and inform future strategies for modulating macrophage function in skeletal disease.
