Isolation of porcine monocyte population: a simple and efficient method.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Monocytes are important mediators of inflammatory processes and are in the focus of immunological studies. While the preparation of human monocytes is widely established, little is published on the isolation of porcine monocytes for experimental studies. The aim of this study is to establish a cost efficient method of preparing and culturing porcine monocytes of considerable purity and reasonable yield. In our method, we combined and modified different protocols of human monocyte preparation. The blood of a single pig is harvested and treated with EDTA to prevent coagulation. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells are obtained by a density gradient centrifugation using a Bicoll gradient and monocytes are harvested by culturing on serum-treated culture flasks, rinsing and tapping. A high yield is obtained by constant cooling of flasks and tubes. The purity of the culture is evaluated by the expression of CD14, using flow cytometry. Using this method, we reached a purity of 92.6 % (± 3.06 %). With this procedure, we established a reliable method to prepare and cultivate porcine monocytes which can be performed cost effectively and does not require special equipment.
