Advantages and disadvantages of treatment of experimental ARDS by M2-polarized RAW 264.7 macrophages.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Innate immunity reactions are core to any immunological process, including systemic inflammation and such extremes as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and cytokine storm. Macrophages, the key cells of innate immunity, show high phenotypic plasticity: depending on microenvironmental cues, they can polarize into M1 (classically activated, pro-inflammatory) or M2 (alternatively activated, anti-inflammatory). The anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage polarization-based cell therapies constitute a novel prospective modality. Systemic administration of 'educated' macrophages is intended at their homing in lungs in order to mitigate the pro-inflammatory cytokine production and reduce the risks of 'cytokine storm' and related severe complications. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the main mortality factor in pneumonia including SARS-CoV-associated cases. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of infusions of RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cell line polarized towards M2 phenotype on the development of LPS-induced ARDS in mouse model. The results indicate that the M2-polarized RAW 264.7 macrophage infusions in the studied model of ARDS promote relocation of lymphocytes from their depots in immune organs to the lungs. In addition, the treatment facilitates expression of M2-polarization markers
