Automated characterisation of neutrophil activation phenotypes in
Article in Computational and structural biotechnology journal, 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
Rapid identification of pathogens is required for early diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening bloodstream infections in humans. This requirement is driving the current developments of molecular diagnostic tools identifying pathogens from human whole blood after successful isolation and cultivation. An alternative approach is to determine pathogen-specific signatures from human host immune cells that have been exposed to pathogens. We hypothesise that activated immune cells, such as neutrophils, may exhibit a characteristic behaviour - for instance in terms of their speed, dynamic cell morphology - that allows (i) identifying the type of pathogen indirectly and (ii) providing information on therapeutic efficacy. In this feasibility study, we propose a method for the quantitative assessment of static and morphodynamic features of neutrophils based on label-free time-lapse imaging data. We investigate neutrophil activation phenotypes after confrontation with fungal pathogens and isolation from a human whole-blood assay. In particular, we applied a machine learning supported approach to time-lapse microscopy data from different infection scenarios and were able to distinguish between
