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
objectPhosphatidylserine-containing liposomes (PSLs) can mimic the immunomodulatory effects of apoptotic cells by binding to the phosphatidylserine receptors of macrophages. Sodium butyrate, an antiinflammatory short-chain fatty acid, is known to facilitate the M2 polarization of macrophages. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sodium butyrate on PSLs-induced macrophage polarization.
methodsPSLs physical properties and cellular uptake tests, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunofluorescence staining, and flow cytometry analysis were performed to assess the polarization-related indicators of M1/M2 macrophages.
resultsThe results showed that sodium butyrate did not affect the size and cellular uptake of PSLs. For M1 macrophage polarization, sodium butyrate significantly intensified the antiinflammatory function of PSLs, inhibiting LPS-induced proinflammatory genes expression, cytokines and enzyme release (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and inducible nitric oxide synthase), as well as CD86 (M1 marker) expression. In addition to the enhancing effect of antiinflammation, sodium butyrate also promoted PSL-induced M2 macrophages polarization, especially elevated thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and arginase-1 (Arg-1) enzyme levels which are involved in tissue repair.
conclusionSodium butyrate enhanced antiinflammatory properties and M2-polarization inducing effect of PSLs. Therefore, sodium butyrate may represent a novel approach to enhance PSL-induced macrophage polarization.
