Common and distinct features of diverse macrophage populations in the central nervous system.
Review in Proceedings of the Japan Academy. Series B, Physical and biological sciences, 2025. 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
Tissue-resident macrophages perform indispensable functions in the development, maintenance, and repair of tissues. Microglia are the primary resident immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), functioning as intracerebral macrophages distributed throughout the brain parenchyma. In addition to microglia, there is another, less well-characterized type of macrophage known as CNS border-associated macrophages (CAMs), and the existence of these cells has been recognized for several decades. With recent advances in research technologies, an increasing number of studies have focused on CAMs, and our understanding of them has begun to improve. In this article, we review the cellular characteristics and functions of CAMs that have been elucidated thus far, with a particular focus on the similarities and differences between CAMs and microglia.
