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

NeutrophilExtracellular Trap (NET) formation (NETosis) is a unique process that occurs in response to numerous stimuli. To investigate NETosis, we created a method that can be used easily without the need for complex programming abilities and commercial software packages. This article describes a fully automated assay to quantify NETosis using fluorescence live imaging on an automated widefield inverted microscope. Herein, we describe (1) sample preparation, (2) required equipment for automated acquisition, and finally (3) analysis of NETosis using the readily available image analysis software Fiji (ImageJ2). This protocol can be adapted to evaluate NETosis after different stimuli, and can be easily modified to allow high-throughput acquisition and analysis using a multi-well plate format. Published 2021. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA. Current Protocols published by Wiley Periodicals LLC. Basic Protocol 1: Neutrophil isolation and plate setup Basic Protocol 2: Microscope and acquisition setup for automated high throughput imaging Basic Protocol 3: Analysis of NETosis and apoptosis data.
