Quiescence of Human Monocytes after Affinity Purification: A Novel Method Apt for Monocyte Stimulation Assays.
Article in Biomolecules, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Several methods to isolate monocytes from whole blood have been previously published, with different advantages and disadvantages. For the purpose of cytokine release assessment upon external stimulation, the use of monocyte preparations consisting of non-activated cells is prerequisite. Affinity-isolated monocyte preparations from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), obtained via positive or negative selection using magnetic beads, released pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6 even without adding external stimuli, hindering any assessment of an effect of bacterial lipoproteins on cell stimulation. Hence, the cell preparation protocol was modified by adding a quiescence step on repellent surface culture plates, dampening any monocyte pre-activation. This protocol now provides a robust method to prepare silent yet fully activatable, pure monocyte populations for further use in stimulus-elicited activation experiments.
