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

Basophils represent the rarest type of granulocyte in human peripheral blood. Thus, researching basophils has historically been challenging and has often been reliant on enrichment protocols using density gradient centrifugation. This article describes a novel, fast, and cost-effective method to purify highly viable human basophils from peripheral blood through negative immunomagnetic selection, foregoing the density centrifugation step in the Basic Protocol. The technique is easy to use and consistently produces purities >96%. Furthermore, the Support Protocols describe procedures to determine basophil yield, purity, and viability, and how to investigate functional activity of the purified basophils through flow cytometry and visualize the basophils through microscopy. © 2024 The Authors. Current Protocols published by Wiley Periodicals LLC. Basic Protocol: Gradient centrifugation-independent basophil isolation Support Protocol 1: Flow cytometry staining to assess basophil yield, purity, and viability Support Protocol 2: Giemsa staining Support Protocol 3: Calcium flux analysis Support Protocol 4: Basophil activation test.
