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 play a key role in cardiac injury and repair after myocardial infarction (MI). Salt-inducible kinase 2 (SIK2), a member of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase family, is notably up-regulated in monocytes/macrophages of patients with MI and animal models. In this study, we investigated the role of SIK2 in macrophage-mediated inflammation and efferocytosis following MI. Macrophage-specific SIK2 deletion reduces infarct size and improves healing post-MI. Furthermore, SIK2-knockout macrophages decrease proinflammatory factor expression and enhance efferocytosis, thereby increasing repair factors expression. SIK2 associates with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), promoting its phosphorylation and K63 polyubiquitylation, which exacerbates inflammation and hinders efferocytosis via the P38 and nuclear factor κB pathways. In contrast, the SIK2
