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

Autophagy is well equipped functionally to isolate microbial pathogens in autophagosomes and to carry out their clearance by dismemberment in the course of catabolic processes in the lysosome. Clearly, this is a non-metabolic function of autophagy that impacts strongly on the immune system. While in a preceding article on neutrophils, eosinophils, mast cells, and natural killer cells our focus was on the role of autophagy in regulating innate immune cell differentiation, degranulation, phagocytosis and extracellular trap formation, here we discuss monocytes/macrophages and dendritic cells, specifically, the influence of autophagy on functional cellular responses, such as phagocytosis, antigen presentation, cytokine production, control of inflammasome activation, tolerance and the consequences for overall host defense.
