CCL7 promotes macrophage polarization and synovitis to exacerbate rheumatoid arthritis.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Chemokine C-C motif ligand 7 (CCL7) is implicated in various immune and inflammatory processes; however, its role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unclear. In this study, we observed that CCL7 expression was upregulated in synovial M1-polarized macrophages and in the serum of RA mice and patients. CCL7 was found to promote macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype while inhibiting M2 differentiation
