Flow Cytometric Analysis and Sorting of Murine Enteric Nervous System Cells: An Optimized Protocol.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. 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
Isolation of neurons and glia from the enteric nervous system (ENS) enables ex vivo studies, including the analysis of genomic and transcriptomic profiles. While we previously reported a fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-based isolation protocol for human ENS cells, no equivalent exists for mice. As directly applying the human protocol to mouse tissue resulted in low recovery of live ENS cells, we optimized tissue dissociation using mouse colons. A 30 min Liberase-based digestion showed optimal recovery of viable ENS cells, with CD56 and CD24 emerging as the most reliable markers to select and subdivide these cells. ENS' identity was further validated by FACS, using neuronal (TUBB3) and glial (SOX10) markers and reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR on sorted fractions. Overall, the mouse ENS expression profile significantly overlapped with the human one, showing that current dissociation protocols yield a mixed population of enteric neurons and glia. Nonetheless, using the imaging flow cytometer BD S8 FACS Discover and ELAVL4 as a neuronal soma-associated marker, we observed enrichment of neurons in a CD56/CD24
