Advanced Analysis of Photoreceptor Outer Segment Phagocytosis by RPE Cells in Culture.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are among the most actively phagocytic cells in nature. Primary RPE and stable RPE cell lines provide experimental model systems that possess the same phagocytic machinery as RPE in situ. Upon experimental challenge with isolated photoreceptor outer segment fragments (POS), these cells promptly and efficiently recognize, bind, internalize, and digest POS. Here, we describe experimental procedures to isolate POS from porcine eyes and to feed POS to RPE cells in culture. Furthermore, we provide experimental protocols to synchronize the POS binding and engulfment steps of phagocytosis. Finally, we describe three different and complementary methods to quantify total POS uptake by RPE cells and to discriminate surface-bound from engulfed POS.
