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

Macrophages, as essential components of the immune system, play pivotal roles in regulating neuroimmune interactions. These cells exist in two primary forms: tissue-resident macrophages and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), each exhibiting distinct functions in neuroimmune responses. Tissue-resident macrophages maintain tissue homeostasis and act as the first line of defense against pathogens, while MDMs are recruited during inflammation, performing both phagocytic and immunomodulatory functions. Despite the recognized roles of these macrophage populations in systemic immunity, their specific contributions to neuroimmune regulation remain poorly understood. This review aims to elucidate the differential roles of tissue-resident macrophages and MDMs in the neuroimmune pathway. We explore their mechanisms of activation, interaction with other immune cells, and involvement in inflammatory processes within the central nervous system (CNS). By identifying the distinct and overlapping functions of these macrophage populations, this review may provide novel insights into therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating neuroimmune responses, particularly in the context of neuroinflammatory disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases.
