Odorant receptors in macrophages: potential targets for atherosclerosis.
Article in Trends in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In a recent report, Orecchioni et al. identify a role for the olfactory receptor (OR) Olfr2 and its human ortholog OR6A2 in atherosclerosis. Vascular macrophage Olfr2 binds octanal, a product of lipid peroxidation, activating the NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β secretion, and driving atherosclerosis pathology. Thus, OR6A2 inhibitors may represent a promising therapy for atherosclerosis.
