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

Macrophages inhabit all major organs, and are capable of adapting their functions to meet the needs of their home tissues. The recent recognition that tissue macrophages derive from different sources, coupled with the notion that environmental cues and inflammatory stimuli can sculpt and agitate homeostasis, provides a frame of reference from which we can decipher the breadth and depth of macrophage activity. Here we discuss macrophages residing in the cardiovascular system, focusing particularly on their development and function in steady state and disease. Central to our discussion is the tension between macrophage ontogeny as a determinant of macrophage function, and the idea that tissues condition macrophage activities and supplant the influence of macrophage origins in favor of environmental demands.
