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

A classic study in 1968 proposed that bone marrow-dwelling promonocytes differentiate to monocytes, which then intravasate, circulate, and, on tissue entry, differentiate to sessile macrophages. Since then, understanding of the macrophage family relationship has undergone substantial enhancement and occasional revision. It is currently recognized that in addition to their role in the bone marrow, hematopoietic progenitors circulate and give rise to their descendants in extramedullary niches. Monocytes, of which there are several subsets, are not merely circulating macrophage precursors but participate in the immune response in their own right. Macrophages are highly heterogeneous and, as recent studies indicate, can arise in the absence of a monocyte intermediate. These spatial and developmental relationships reveal a complex interactive network and underscore the importance of context in evaluating biological systems. The observations have significant implications for how we image, target, and treat disease.
