A subpopulation of green turtle suprabasal epidermal cells are Langerin+ and migrate under in vitro stimulation of the chemokine CCL21.

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
Dendritic cells form the link between the innate and adaptative immune response, particularly on mucosal and epidermal surfaces. The Langerhans, an epidermal dendritic cell subpopulation, play a key role in the skin immune response across several species. Scarse immune cell subpopulations, including Langerhans-like cells, have been identified in endangered green turtles thereby complicating the understanding of the pathogenesis of diseases such as fibropapillomatosis, which induces skin tumours in this species worldwide. In biopsies from green turtle skin, we demonstrated that the polyclonal anti-human Langerin antibodies strongly stained a Langerin+ cell population in epidermal sheets, the suprabasal layer of the epidermis in cryosections and in cells from cytospin preparation of migration assays. The morphology of these cells was round to amoeboid in normal skin; however, in skin with ulcerative dermatitis, Langerin+ cells aggregated around ulcers and adopted a more pleomorphic morphology. To our knowledge, this is the first identification of Langerin+ cells with a molecular marker in a reptile species.
