The molecular determinants of microglial developmental dynamics.
Review in Nature reviews. Neuroscience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
Microglia constitute the largest population of parenchymal macrophages in the brain and are considered a unique subset of central nervous system glial cells owing to their extra-embryonic origins in the yolk sac. During development, microglial progenitors readily proliferate and eventually colonize the entire brain. In this Review, we highlight the origins of microglial progenitors and their entry routes into the brain and discuss the various molecular and non-molecular determinants of their fate, which may inform their specific functions. Specifically, we explore recently identified mechanisms that regulate microglial colonization of the brain, including the availability of space, and describe how the expansion of highly proliferative microglial progenitors facilitates the occupation of the microglial niche. Finally, we shed light on the factors involved in establishing microglial identity in the brain.
