Identification of novel macrophages and bone morphogenetic protein signals causing ectopic calcification and impairing muscle regeneration.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Ectopic calcification is an abnormal regenerative response occurring in various tissues following injury, surgery, or genetic mutations. However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. By comparing three macrophage depletion methods using clodronate liposome, Csf1r neutralizing antibody, and macrophage-specific
