Roles of efferocytosis in wound repair: Process, cells, and signals.
Review in Genes & diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Efficient clearance of apoptotic cells, termed efferocytosis, is essential for resolving excessive inflammation, promoting wound repair, and maintaining homeostasis. Defective clearance results in the accumulation of dead cells and other metabolites, which are responsible for chronic inflammation, nonhealing of wounds, and tissue regeneration. Emerging evidence shows that the failure to resolve inflammation and defective phagocytosis or efferocytosis increases the possibility of several diseases involving diabetic wounds and damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, which is a focus of medical development and the public eye. Thus, gaining deeper insight into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of efferocytosis may be useful for inflammation resolution. This review describes the mechanism of efferocytosis and wound repair and the roles of professionals (macrophages and dendritic cells) and amateur phagocytes (
