Quantitative Immunofluorescent Imaging of Immune Cells in Mucosal Tissues.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Understanding the interplay between commensals, pathogens, and immune cells in the skin and mucosal tissues is critical to improve prevention and treatment of a myriad of diseases. While high-parameter flow cytometry is the current gold standard for immune cell characterization in blood, it is less suitable for mucosal tissues, where structural and spatial information is lost during tissue disaggregation. Immunofluorescence overcomes this limitation, serving as an excellent alternative for studying immune cells in mucosal tissues. However, the use of immunofluorescent microscopy for analyzing clinical samples is hampered by a lack of high-throughput quantitative analysis techniques. In this chapter, we describe methods for sectioning, staining, and imaging whole sections of human foreskin tissue. We also describe methods to automate immune cell quantification from immunofluorescent images, including image preprocessing and methods to quantify both circular and irregularly shaped immune cells using open-source software.
