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

Proper termination of cell-death-induced neural inflammation is the premise of tissue repair in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Macrophages scavenge cell corpses/debris and produce inflammatory mediators that orchestrate immune responses. Here, we report that FOXP3, the key immune-repressive transcription factor of Tregs, is conditionally expressed in macrophages in stroke lesion. FOXP3 ablation in macrophages results in detrimental stroke outcomes, emphasizing the beneficial role of FOXP3+ macrophages. FOXP3+ macrophages are distinct from the M1 or M2 subsets and display superactive efferocytic capacity. With scRNAseq and analysis of FOXP3-bound-DNA isolated with CUT & RUN, we show that FOXP3 facilitates macrophage phagocytosis through enhancing cargo metabolism. FOXP3 expression is controlled by macroautophagic/autophagic protein degradation in resting macrophages, while initiation of LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) competitively occupies the autophagic machineries, and thus permits FOXP3 activation. Our data demonstrate a distinct set of FOXP3+ macrophages with enhanced scavenging capability, which could be a target in immunomodulatory therapy against AIS.
