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 and macrophages are central cells of the innate immune system, responding to a diverse repertoire of pathogens. These cells originate from a common myeloid precursor in the bone marrow and while sharing responsibilities during innate immunity, differ greatly in their lifespan. Normally, blood monocytes live for just few days before undergoing apoptosis. Macrophages, in contrast, live up for months. Monocytes' lifespan can switch dramatically, from prolonged survival during inflammation to apoptosis as inflammation resolves. Interestingly, many of the mechanisms mediating survival during inflammation and cancer also operate in monocyte/macrophage differentiation. Differentiation and inflammatory stimuli determine monocyte/macrophage lifespan, by blocking the apoptotic pathway and activating a myriad of survival pathways. How these complicated networks of survival and apoptotic regulators are integrated remains yet to be fully elucidated. The present review summarizes the different monocytes' subpopulations and their function during pathogen recognition. We discuss the role of the caspases and the mechanisms that determine monocytes/macrophages fate highlighting their significance in the regulation of inflammatory diseases.
