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

Bone marrow-derived circulating monocytes contribute to the replenishment and maintenance of the intestinal macrophage population. Intestinal monocytes undergo context-dependent phenotypic and functional adaptations to either maintain local immune balance or support intestinal inflammation. Here we use monocyte adoptive transfer to dissect the dynamics of monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation in normal and inflamed small intestine. We find that during homeostasis CCR2 and β7-integrin mediate constitutive homing of monocytes to the gut. By contrast, intestinal inflammation increases monocyte recruitment via CCR2, but not β7-integrin. In the non-inflamed intestine, monocytes gradually differentiate to express genes typically associated with tolerogenic macrophage functions. Conversely, immediately upon entry into the inflamed intestine, monocytes adapt a different expression pattern in a partly Trem-1-dependent manner. Our observations suggest that inflammation fundamentally changes the kinetics and modalities of monocyte differentiation in tissues.
