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
Dendritic cell inhibitory receptor 3 (DCIR3, Clec4a3) and dendritic cell inhibitory receptor 4 (DCIR4, Clec4a1) are C-type lectin receptors that belong to mouse dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) family. We recently showed that DCIR3 and DCIR4 are co-expressed on inflammatory and patrolling monocytes. In this study, we investigated the expression of DCIR3 and DCIR4 on tissue-resident macrophages. We found that spleen red pulp macrophages, liver Kupffer cells, large and small peritoneal macrophages and small intestinal macrophages expressed both DCIR3 and DCIR4. By contrast, lung alveolar macrophages expressed DCIR3 but not DCIR4 and brain microglia expressed neither DCIR3 nor DCIR4. Considerable part of tissue-resident macrophages are derived from embryonic precursors. We, therefore, examined the expression of DCIR3 and DCIR4 on the embryonic precursors. Yolk-sac macrophages from embryonic day (E) 8.5 embryos expressed both DCIR3 and DCIR4, while DCIR3 and DCIR4 were expressed on subpopulations of fetal liver monocytes from E14.5 embryos. Our results, together with previous data, indicate that the expression of DCIR3 and DCIR4 is widely shared by mononuclear phagocytes, including monocytes and macrophages, and that the expression of DCIR3 and DCIR4 on the embryonic precursors are not always retained by their progenies, suggesting that expression of DCIR3 and DCIR4 on tissue-resident macrophages might be regulated by environment of the tissues where the embryonic precursors differentiate into macrophages.
