Evolution of Microglia.
Article in Advances in neurobiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Microglial cells are unique tissue-resident macrophages located in the parenchyma of the central nervous system (CNS). A recent comparative transcriptional study on microglia across more than 20 species from leach across chicken and many more up to humans revealed multiple conserved features. The results indicate the imperative role of microglia over the last 500 million years (Geirsdottir et al. Cell 181:746, 2020). Improved understanding of microglial evolution provides essential insights into conserved and divergent microglial pathways and will have implications for future development of microglia-based therapies to treat CNS disorders. Not only therapeutic approaches may be rethought, but also the understanding of sex specificity of the immune system within the CNS needs to be renewed. Besides revealing the highly detailed characteristics of microglia, the former paradigm of microglia being the only CNS-resident immune cells was outdated by the identification of CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs) as CNS interface residents, who, most likely, accompanied microglia in evolution over the past million years.
