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

Studies involving neutrophils are steadily increasing, thus creating a need for more optimized and thorough protocols for studying neutrophil function. Here, we present our protocol for extracting mouse bone marrow neutrophils, estimating the purity of isolated neutrophils, and assessing their ability to induce NETosis upon an external cue. We test two isolation protocols that can be used to attain neutrophils to assess NETosis induction. This approach allows for the parallel assessment of NETosis induction in cohorts larger than 10 samples. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lu et al., 2021.
