Changes in immune cell distribution and their cytokine/chemokine production during regression of the rhesus macaque corpus luteum.

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
Our previous flow cytometry results demonstrated a significant increase in neutrophils, macrophages/monocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells in dispersed rhesus monkey corpora lutea (CL) after progesterone (P4) levels had fallen below 0.3 ng/ml for ≥3 days during the natural menstrual cycle. In this study, immunohistochemistry revealed the CD11b+ cells (neutrophils, macrophages/monocytes) present in the CL after luteal P4 synthesis ceased were distributed throughout the tissue. CD16+ cells (presumptive NK cells) were observed mainly near the vasculature in functional CL, until their numbers increased and they became widely distributed in regressing CL. To determine if the immune cells that enter luteal tissue during structural regression are functionally different from those that are present during peak function, CD11b+ or CD16+ populations were enriched from mid-late stage (functional) and regressing (days 1.8 ± 0.3 postmenses) CL using antibody-conjugated magnetic microbeads. Flow cytometry analyses revealed the majority of CD11b+ cells expressed CD14, a protein mainly produced by macrophages/monocytes. The antibody-enriched and depleted fractions were cultured for 24 h, and the media then analyzed for the production of 29 cytokines/chemokines. From the mid-late CL, the CD11b+-enriched fraction produced three cytokines/chemokines, whereas CD16+-enriched cells only produced the chemokine CCL2. However, CD11b +-enriched cells isolated from regressed CL produced eight cytokines/chemokines. The CD16+-enriched cells isolated from regressing CL produced significant levels of only three cytokines. Thus, the CD11b+ cells that appear in the rhesus macaque CL after functional regression produce several cytokines/chemokines that likely play a role in orchestrating structural regression.
