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

Microglia function as the tissue-specific resident macrophages of the nervous system, performing immune and non-immune functions. These functions are critical to development and to maintain homeostasis in the nervous system throughout the lifespan, and during brain injury or disease. One method by which microglia maintain homeostasis is phagocytosis of aberrant proteins, extracellular debris, synapses, or apoptotic cells. Phagocytic function can be changed by environmental or genetic risk factors that affect microglia. These protocols present a rapid and simple in vitro high-content imaging protocol for studying phagocytosis in the murine microglia BV-2 cell line. High-content imaging and analysis enable versatility of the assay, which can be used to test multiple experimental conditions, or as a screening tool. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Basic Protocol 1: Phagocytosis of fluorescently labeled particles Basic Protocol 2: Examining modifications to phagocytosis by test substances Basic Protocol 3: High content imaging and analysis of phagocytic cells.
