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

purpose of reviewThis review summarizes the phenotype and function of macrophages in the context of solid organ transplantation and will focus on fundamental insights into their paradoxical pro-inflammatory versus suppressive function. We will also discuss the therapeutic potential of regulatory macrophages in tolerance induction. RECENT

findingsMacrophages are emerging as an essential element of solid organ transplantation. Macrophages are involved in the pathogenesis of ischemia reperfusion injury, as well as both acute and chronic rejection, exacerbating injury through secretion of inflammatory effectors and by amplifying adaptive immune responses. Notably, not all responses associated with macrophages are deleterious to the graft, and graft protection can in fact be conferred by macrophages. This has been attributed to the presence of macrophages with tissue-repair capabilities, as well as the effects of regulatory macrophages. SUMMARY: The explosion of new information on the role of macrophages in solid organ transplantation has opened up new avenues of research and the possibility of therapeutic intervention. However, the role of myeloid cells in graft rejection, resolution of rejection and tissue repair remains poorly understood. A better understanding of plasticity and regulation of monocyte polarization is vital for the development of new therapies for the treatment of acute and chronic transplant rejection.
