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

Microglia and macrophages are critical mediators of immune responses in the central nervous system. Their roles range from homeostatic maintenance to the pathogenesis of autoimmune demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. This review explores the origins of microglia and macrophages, as well as their mechanisms of activation, interactions with other neural cells, and contributions to disease progression and repair processes. It also highlights the translational relevance of insights gained from animal models and the therapeutic potential of targeting microglial and macrophage activity in multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
