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

Neutrophils are professional phagocytes that are important for innate host defenses against pathogens and resolution of inflammation. Traditionally, the phagocytic capacity of neutrophils was quantified by enumeration of cells containing either internalized or bound bacteria or other cargo from a series of microscopic images. Here we describe an imaging flow cytometry-based protocol and analysis method for quantifying the binding and uptake of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by primary adherent human neutrophils. Imaging flow cytometry combines the capacity for quantitative, high-throughput analysis of tens of thousands of cells per condition, with the imaging power of fluorescence microscopy. Here, all bacteria are labeled with Tag-it Violet™ and bound bacteria are differentially stained with a DyLight™ 650-conjugated antibody. Images are analyzed using spot count and other algorithms. Outputs include the percent of neutrophils associated with bacteria, the percent of neutrophils with internalized bacteria, and the percent of internalized bacteria. This basic protocol can be adapted to a variety of particle types and can be used for multiplex analysis in combination with staining for different neutrophil surface and intracellular markers.
