Macrophage Polarization Induced by Probiotic Bacteria: a Concise Review.
Review in Probiotics and antimicrobial proteins, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Macrophages display remarkable plasticity and can possess distinct functions in response to different environmental stimuli. Classically activated macrophages (M1 macrophages) are pro-inflammatory and have a critical role in host defense against infection, while alternatively activated macrophages (M2 macrophages) suppress inflammatory responses and associated with wound repair. Probiotic bacteria are reported to have a beneficial effect on the host immune status through their ability to modulate the macrophage polarization. Some probiotic strains are reported to activate macrophages to M1 phenotype to kill intracellular pathogens, while some other probiotics can induce M2 macrophages to exert the anti-inflammatory effect. Thus, this review will focus on the immunomodulatory role of probiotics in macrophage polarization and summarize the mode of action of probiotics in regulating macrophage plasticity. The detailed understanding of the immunomodulatory signaling effects of probiotic bacteria will broaden our understanding of how probiotics may regulate the immune system and find their therapeutic potentials for inflammatory diseases.
