Blockade of Aquaporin 4 Inhibits Irradiation-Induced Pulmonary Inflammation and Modulates Macrophage Polarization in Mice.
Article in Inflammation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
To investigate the effects of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) inhibitor in irradiation-induced pulmonary inflammation in mice. A single dose of 75 Gy was delivered to the left lung of mice to induce radiation pneumonitis. For inhibition of AQP4, 200 mg/kg of TGN-020 was administered i.p. one time per 2 days post-irradiation. Blockade of AQP4 with TGN-020 resulted in the inhibition of inflammatory cell infiltration and the downregulation of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-17, and TGF-β), chemokines (MIP1a and MCP1), fibrosis-related (Col3al and Fn1), and M2 macrophage marker (Arg1) post-irradiation. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that there was significant fewer M2 macrophage infiltration in the irradiated lung tissues from mice treated with TGN-020. Additionally, depletion of macrophages with liposome clodronate resulted in alleviated lung injury induced by irradiation. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of M1 or M2 macrophages into clodronate-treated mice was performed. The results showed that the administration of M2 macrophages fully reversed the clodronate-induced beneficial effect on inflammation score, thickness, and fibrosis. However, transfer of M1 macrophages only impacted the inflammation score and thickness and did not affect lung fibrosis. AQP4 blockade alleviated the development and severity of irradiated lung damage. This was associated with attenuated infiltration of inflammatory cell, decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and inhibited activation of M2 macrophages.
