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

Macrophage polarization is critical for maintaining health and for recognizing and eliminating a diverse array of antigens. These disparate roles require distinct macrophage responses, and the induction of inappropriate macrophage responses is intimately associated with disease. It is therefore important to understand how macrophages respond to new biomedicines and to harness those with immune modulatory properties for therapeutic use. This study defines the effects of rationally designed antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) on macrophage polarization and function, compared with natural host-defense peptides (natural AMP LL-37 and antibiotic polymyxin B).
