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

Biomaterials are scaffolds designed to mimic the extracellular matrix and stimulate tissue repair. Biomaterial therapies have shown promise for improving wound healing in cardiac tissue after ischemic injury. An unintentional consequence of biomaterial delivery may be the stimulation of inflammation through recruitment of circulating monocytes into the tissue. Monocytes are a type of leukocyte (white blood cell) that play a critical role in pathogen recognition, phagocytosis of foreign material, and presentation of antigens to initiate an adaptive immune response. An increase in the pro-inflammatory subset of monocytes, marked by Ly6C antigen expression, in response to biomaterials can lead to rapid material degradation, ineffective treatment, and worsening of tissue injury. Flow cytometry is a leading method for screening the recruitment of monocytes to the heart in response to biomaterial injection. Here, we describe the isolation of leukocytes from the heart, blood, and spleen of mice treated with a biomaterial post-myocardial infarction and describe a flow cytometry protocol used to quantify the levels of major leukocyte subtypes, including Ly6C
