Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor 2 rescue Müller glia-derived progenitor cell formation in microglia- and macrophage-ablated chick retinas.

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
Recent studies have demonstrated the impact of pro-inflammatory signaling and reactive microglia/macrophages on the formation of Müller glial-derived progenitor cells (MGPCs) in the retina. In chick retina, ablation of microglia/macrophages prevents the formation of MGPCs. Analyses of single-cell RNA-sequencing chick retinal libraries revealed that quiescent and activated microglia/macrophages have a significant impact upon the transcriptomic profile of Müller glia (MG). In damaged monocyte-depleted retinas, MG fail to upregulate genes related to different cell signaling pathways, including those related to Wnt, heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HBEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and retinoic acid receptors. Inhibition of GSK3β, to simulate Wnt signaling, failed to rescue the deficit in MGPC formation, whereas application of HBEGF or FGF2 completely rescued the formation of MGPCs in monocyte-depleted retinas. Inhibition of Smad3 or activation of retinoic acid receptors partially rescued the formation of MGPCs in monocyte-depleted retinas. We conclude that signals produced by reactive microglia/macrophages in damaged retinas stimulate MG to upregulate cell signaling through HBEGF, FGF and retinoic acid, and downregulate signaling through TGFβ/Smad3 to promote the reprogramming of MG into proliferating MGPCs.
