Complement dependent TNFα production in neutrophil-like HL60 cells.
Article in Biochemistry and biophysics reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Neutrophils develop in the bone marrow (BM) from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through a series of progenitor cells and mature neutrophils play a critical role in the human immune system. Previous studies revealed that tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) produced by immature neutrophils contributes to HSCs development and vascular regeneration in the BM niche. However, the precise mechanism of TNFα production in immature neutrophils remains unclear. This study aims to assess the relationship between complement C3 activation and TNFα production from immature neutrophils. We investigated the regulatory mechanism of TNFα production by complement components in neutrophil-like HL60 cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed that C3a receptor (C3aR) and C3bi receptor (CR3, Mac-1, CD11b/CD18, integrin αMβ2) are expressed on the surface of neutrophil-like HL60 cells. We found that zymosan-treated human serum leads to TNFα production in neutrophil-like HL60 cells, but not in human polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs). A C3-convertase inhibitor, compstatin suppresses TNFα production. These data suggest that the TNFα production is mediated by complement C3 activation. Furthermore, the TNFα production is enhanced by Ca
