Macrophages and the Extracellular Matrix.
Review in Results and problems in cell differentiation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Macrophages are critical to the immune response, serving multiple essential roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis and providing immune protection. These cells also interact with and influence the extracellular matrix (ECM) by sensing and responding to its components. Such interactions between macrophages and the ECM are mediated through the secretion and uptake of various biomacromolecules, such as cytokines and the extracellular vesicles, including exosomes and microvesicles. These vesicles are pivotal in regulating cellular behaviors that affect the organism's overall function. Moreover, macrophages are integral to the repair mechanisms that alter tissue structure and functionality during tissue remodeling. This chapter will delineate how macrophages interact with the ECM and discuss potential therapeutic strategies leveraging these interactions. It will conclude with a discussion of the challenges ahead, highlighting the importance of understanding macrophage-ECM dynamics for advancing basic biology and clinical applications.
