Role of macrophages in liver cirrhosis: fibrogenesis and resolution.
Review in Anatomy & cell biology, 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
At present, chronic liver disease accounts for approximately 2 million deaths per year worldwide. Liver injury induces a series of events causing inflammation. Chronic inflammation ends in liver fibrosis. A stage of fibrinolysis occurs on stopping insult. Kupffer cells play their role to initiate inflammatory responses, while infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages have a role both in chronic inflammation and fibrosis and in fibrosis resolution. Ly-6C high expressing monocytes act during fibrogenesis, while Ly-6C low expressing monocytes are restorative macrophages which promote resolution of fibrosis after end of the injury. Recent studies have identified new phenotypes, such as metabolically activated M, oxidized, which may have a role in fatty liver diseases.
