Culture and Maintenance of Immune Cells to Model Innate Immune Status at the Feto-maternal Interface.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2024. 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
The inflammatory process leading to human labor is mostly facilitated by immune cells, which can be studied by isolating and characterizing primary immune cells from the feto-maternal interface. However, difficulty and inconsistency in sampling approaches of immune cells and short lifespan in vitro prevent their usage in mechanistic studies to understand the maternal-fetal immunobiology. To address these limitations, existing cell line models can be differentiated into immune-like cells for use in reproductive biology experiments. In this chapter, we discussed cell culture methods of maintaining and differentiating HL-60, THP-1, and NK-92 cells to obtain neutrophil-like, macrophage-like, and decidual natural killer-like cells, respectively, which can then be used together with intrauterine cells to elucidate and investigate immune mechanisms that contribute to parturition.
