1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a group of systemic autoimmune diseases characterized by chronic muscle inflammation and diverse clinical manifestations. Macrophages, pivotal components of innate immunity, are implicated in immune responses, inflammation resolution, and tissue repair. Distinct macrophage polarization states play vital roles in disease progression and resolution. Mechanistically, activated macrophages release proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and reactive oxygen species, perpetuating immune responses and tissue damage. Dysregulated macrophage polarization contributes to sustained inflammation. Here, we reviewed the intricate contributions of macrophages to IIM pathogenesis and explored novel therapeutic avenues. We discussed emerging strategies targeting macrophages, including receptor-based interventions and macrophage polarization modulation, for IIM treatment. This review underscores the multifaceted involvement of macrophages in IIM pathogenesis and offers insights into potential therapeutic approaches targeting these immune cells for disease management.
