Ontogeny and phagocytic function of baboon lung dendritic cells.
Article in Immunology and cell biology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells, but the ontogeny and functions of lung DCs are not known during prenatal period. Here, we isolated lung DC population from fetal (125-175 days of gestation age) and adult baboons. The cells were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated-HLA-DP, DQ, DR, CD1a, CD11c, CD14, CD40, CD80, CD86, CD209, CMKLR1, ILT7-specific antibodies, and staining was analyzed by flow cytometry. The phagocytic function was investigated by incubating the cells with fluorescent-labeled Escherichia coli bioparticles and analyzed by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. The fetal baboon lung DCs expressed low levels of HLA-DP, DQ, DR, CD11c and CD86 as compared to adult baboon lung DCs and showed distinct DC morphology. The fetal lung DCs were also less capable of phagocytosing E. coli as compared to the adult lung DCs (P<0.05). In conclusion, the fetal lung DCs are not only phenotypically immature, but also less efficient in phagocytosing E. coli.
