Ulcerative colitis: the healing power of macrophages.
Review in Tissue barriers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and debilitating disorder that falls under the broad category of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, affects the colon and rectum, resulting in inflammation and ulcers in the lining of these organs. Over the years, there has been a significant shift in the management of UC. The focus has moved from achieving symptom-free daily living to attaining mucosal healing. Mucosal healing means completely restoring the colon and rectum's lining, significantly reducing the risk of complications and relapse. Macrophages are a crucial component of the immune system that play a vital role in the regeneration and repair of colonic ulcers. These immune cells are responsible for production of a variety of cytokines and growth factors that facilitate tissue repair. Macrophages are responsible for maintaining a balance between inflammation and healing. When this balance is disrupted, it can lead to chronic inflammation and tissue damage, exacerbating UC symptoms. Thus, this review aims to investigate the contribution of macrophages to mucosal repair and remission maintenance in UC patients.
