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 migrate and invade into damaged muscle rapidly and are important for muscle repair and subsequent regeneration. The exact cellular and biological events that cause macrophage migration toward injured muscle are not completely understood. In this study, the effect of macrophage differentiation on the chemotactic capability to invade local damaged muscle was investigated using an in vitro model of muscle injury. We used C2C12 cell myoblasts and J774 cell macrophages, and the "killed-C2C12" cells were combined with live C2C12 cells as a partially damaged muscle model. The cultured J774 cells, with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS), were treated with Ly294002 (Ly), which is an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). In order to evaluate the polarization effect of LPS stimulation on J774 cells, expression of cell surface Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), CD11c and CCR2, and expression of F-actin intensity, were analyzed by flow cytometry. The real-time horizontal chemotaxis assay of J774 cells was tested using the TAXIScan device. The expressions of TLR4, CD11c, and F-actin intensity in LPS-treated cells were significantly higher than those in Ctrl cells. In LPS-treated cells, the chemotactic activity toward damaged muscle cells completely disappeared. Moreover, the reduced chemotaxis depended far more on directionality than velocity. However, Ly treatment reversed the reduced chemotactic activity of the LPS-treated cells. In addition, cell-adhesion and F-actin intensity, but not CCR2 expression, in LPS-treated cells, was significantly reduced by Ly treatment. Taken together, our results suggest that the PI3K/Akt activation state drives migration behavior towards damaged muscle cells.
