A Survey on Core Flow Cytometry Facilities: Instrument Maintenance, Usage, and Funding.
Article in Journal of biomolecular techniques : JBT, 2023. 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
Flow cytometry is a powerful tool that finds applications in various fields such as immunology, molecular biology, cancer biology, virology, and infectious disease monitoring. A significant portion of the research in these disciplines is supported by flow cytometry shared resource laboratories (SRLs). There are several types of flow cytometers available for use in SRLs, including analyzers, sorters, imaging flow cytometers, and mass cytometers. Each type has different challenges when it comes to maintenance and life expectancy. An independent online survey was conducted to better understand instrument maintenance and turnover in flow cytometry SRLs. Questions regarding instrument uptime (availability), its usage, routine maintenance, and cost associated with it were addressed. The respondents also answered questions pertaining to the frequency of deep cleaning of the instrument and quality control. In addition, the survey queried about the source of funding used to purchase the instruments and possible reasons for a replacement. Presented herein are the results compiled from 146 core facilities that provide a look at the operation within a typical SRL, with the responses reflecting researchers' experiences with handling flow cytometers.
