Macrophage polarization in response to epigenetic modifiers during infection and inflammation.
Review in Drug discovery today, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 103 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 are a heterogeneous population of phagocytic cells present in all tissues. Recently, several drugs that target the epigenetic machinery have emerged as attractive molecules for treating infection and inflammation by modulating macrophages. Treatment of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged macrophages with epigenetic modifiers leads to phenotype switching. This could provide stimulatory/destructive (M1) or suppressive/protective (M2) therapeutic strategies, which are crucial in the cytokine milieu in which the macrophages reside. In this review, we provide an overview of macrophage functional diversity during various diseases, including infection, as well as the current status in the development and clinical utility of epigenetic modifiers.
