Macrophage polarization induces endothelium-to-myofibroblast transition in chronic allograft dysfunction.
Article in Renal failure, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Our research explores the role of M1 macrophage polarization in endothelium-to-myofibroblast transition (EndMT) and chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD). GSE21374 transcriptome sequencing data were obtained. Transplanted nephrectomy specimens from CAD patients were collected and studied to explore the infiltration of M1 and M2 macrophages using immunofluorescence, PCR, and Western blotting (WB). A co-culture model of M1 macrophages, polarized from mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) or Raw264.7, and aortic endothelial cells was established, and EndMT was tested using PCR and WB. RNA-sequencing was performed on the macrophages from the mouse BMDM. The TNF-α secreted from the polarized M1 macrophages was verified using ELISA. Based on the GEO public database, it was observed that macrophages were significantly infiltrated in CAD allograft tissues, with CD68(+) iNOS(+) M1 macrophages significantly infiltrating the glomeruli of allograft tissues, and CD68(+)CD206(+) M2 macrophages notably infiltrating the allograft interstitial area. The mRNA expression of the M1 macrophage marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was significantly increased (
