PTX3 is expressed in terminal lymphatics and shapes their organization and function.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Introduction: The lymphatic system is a multifaceted regulator of tissue homeostasis and an integral part of immune responses. Previous studies had shown that subsets of lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) express Methods: In the present study using whole-mount imaging and image-based morphometric quantifications, Results: We found that PTX3 is localized in the extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding human and murine lymphatic vessels (LV). In murine tissues, PTX3 was localized in the ECM close to LV terminals and sprouting. Discussion: Thus, PTX3 is strategically localized in the ECM of specialized LV, playing an essential role in their structural organization and immunological function.
