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
backgroundCD47 could negatively regulate macrophage-mediated phagocytosis and contribute to senescent cells accumulation in aging. However, it remains unknown whether CD47 is overexpressed in photoaged skin and involved in photoaging pathogenesis.
aimsTo investigate the expression, clinical significance, and mechanism of CD47 in photoaging.
methodsSun-exposed (n = 10) and sun-protected (n = 10) skin samples were collected from elderly subjects and stained for CD47, and its association with collagen and elastin content and p16 expression was subsequently analyzed. A cellular photoaging model was then established to examine CD47 expression in photoaged fibroblasts. Furthermore, the influence of photoaged fibroblasts on macrophage-mediated phagocytosis and elimination was assessed by constructing a co-culture system. SiRNA was applied to block the CD47/SIRPα axis to determine its role in this process. Finally, the activation of the CD47/SIRPα axis was evaluated in skin samples.
resultsWe showed the increased dermal CD47 expression in sun-exposed aged skin, which was closely correlated with the reduced collagen content and enhanced elastin accumulation and dermal p16 expression. Next, elevated CD47 was detected in both sun-exposed aged skin-derived fibroblasts and photoaged ones. We discovered that photoaged fibroblasts impaired the phagocytotic function of co-cultured macrophages via CD47/SIRPα axis, and blocking the CD47/SIRPα axis could improve their elimination. Moreover, the CD47/SIRPα axis was found to be activated in the sun-exposed aged skin.
conclusionsThe present study demonstrated for the first time that CD47 was highly expressed and involved in mediating photoaged fibroblasts accumulation, providing important evidence for CD47 as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for photoaging.
