Regulation of macrophage polarization in chronic airway inflammatory diseases: immune interactions, metabolic reprogramming, and beyond.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chronic upper and lower airway inflammatory diseases (such as allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and bronchial asthma) are a group of highly heterogeneous disorders primarily characterized by immune imbalance and persistent inflammation as their core features, which seriously affect patients' quality of life. As an important component of the immune system, macrophages can undergo functional polarization in response to distinct inflammatory microenvironments, exerting divergent pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory effects. They also form intricate interaction networks with other immune cells to jointly regulate the progression of chronic airway inflammation. Although the regulation of macrophage plasticity is regulated by multiple aspects, metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a pivotal mechanism modulating macrophage polarization and function. This review systematically summarizes the interplay between macrophage polarization and other immune cells, focusing on the impact of distinct phenotypes and their regulatory pathways on chronic airway inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, we discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting metabolic reprogramming, providing new insights for the precise treatment of chronic upper and lower airway inflammatory diseases.
