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

Neutrophils play a crucial role in maintaining lung health by defending against infections and participating in inflammation processes. Here we describe a detailed protocol for evaluating pulmonary neutrophil phenotype using a murine model of sterile inflammation induced by the fungal cell wall particle zymosan. We provide step-by-step instructions for the isolation of single cells from both lung tissues and airspaces, followed by comprehensive staining techniques for both cell surface markers and intracellular components. This protocol facilitates the sorting and detailed characterization of lung neutrophils via flow cytometry, making it suitable for downstream applications such as mRNA extraction, single-cell sequencing, and analysis of neutrophil heterogeneity. We also identify and discuss essential considerations for conducting successful neutrophil flow cytometry experiments. This work is aimed at researchers exploring the intricate functions of neutrophils in the lung under physiological and pathological conditions with the aid of flow cytometry.
