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

Macrophages, first discovered for their phagocytic ability, are a complicated and heterogeneous cell type. The unique properties of macrophages allow them to perform a vast array of functions, including phagocytosis, cytokine production, antigen presentation, and wound healing. Some macrophage populations are derived from monocytes and are induced into specific phenotypes by the local tissue microenvironment, while other macrophages form during early embryonic development. The exposure of the host to local pathogens and/or traumatic injury alters the tissue microenvironment and, in turn, influences changes in macrophage phenotype and function. Perhaps the most significant change in the local tissue microenvironment and subsequent macrophage phenotype occurs after thermal injury, which causes localized tissue damage and a massive systemic inflammatory response. However, few studies have explored the influence of burn injury on the host macrophages and macrophage function in burn wounds. Furthermore, the literature is scant regarding the impact macrophage function has on outcomes in thermal injury. This review will focus on the current knowledge of macrophage function in burn wounds and the phenotypic changes in macrophages during thermal injury while identifying knowledge gaps.
