Breathing and burning: metabolic control of alveolar macrophages by intracellular bacterial pathogens.
Review in Frontiers in physiology, 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
Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the lung's phagocytic immune sentinels, programmed to maintain homeostasis while defending against inhaled pathogens. AM metabolism is shaped by both developmental origin and the alveolar microenvironment. Embryonically-derived AMs populate the lungs early in life and develop into long-lived, self-renewing cells displaying lipid-centered, oxidative metabolism that restrains inflammation and preserves alveolar structure. When infection or injury disrupts homeostasis, circulating monocytes are recruited to the airspace and differentiate into monocyte-derived AMs, which adopt a glycolytic, short-lived, pro-inflammatory phenotype. Thus, differences in origin and transcriptional programming create two metabolically distinct AM populations with divergent roles in lung immunity. The intracellular bacterial pathogens
