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

Monocytes (Mo) and macrophages (Mφ) play important roles in the function of tissues, organs, and systems of all animals during homeostasis, infection, injury, and disease. For decades, conventional wisdom has dictated that Mo and Mφ are end-stage cells that do not proliferate and that Mφ accumulation in tissues is the result of infiltration of Mo from the blood and subsequent differentiation to Mφ. However, reports from the early 1900s to the present describe evidence of Mo and Mφ proliferation in different tissues and contexts. The purpose of this review is to summarize both historical and current evidence for the contribution of Mφ proliferation to their accumulation in different tissues during homeostasis, infection, injury, and disease. Mφ proliferate in different organs and tissues, including skin, peritoneum, lung, heart, aorta, kidney, liver, pancreas, brain, spinal cord, eye, adipose tissue, and uterus, and in different species including mouse, rat, rabbit, and human. Mφ can proliferate at different stages of differentiation with infiltrating Mo-like cells proliferating in certain inflammatory contexts (e.g. skin wounding, kidney injury, bladder and liver infection) and mature resident Mφ proliferating in other inflammatory contexts (e.g. nematode infection, acetaminophen liver injury) and during homeostasis. The pathways involved in stimulating Mφ proliferation also may be context dependent, with different cytokines and transcription factors implicated in different studies. Although Mφ are known to proliferate in health, injury, and disease, much remains to be learned about the regulation of Mφ proliferation in different contexts and its impact on the homeostasis, injury, and repair of different organs and tissues.
