Protocol for dynamic high-throughput cell death screening of primary phagocytes following microplastic and nanoplastic exposure.
Article in STAR protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) can cross epithelial barriers of the lung and/or intestine into the bloodstream. In the body, phagocytes will be exposed to plastic particles, but they are incapable of degrading them. Here, we present a protocol for high-throughput cell death screening of primary phagocytes following MNP exposure. We describe steps for isolating primary phagocytes, plating these with MNPs, and time-lapse imaging. Further, we explain detailed procedures for image analysis using the IncuCyte S3 live-cell imaging system and analysis software. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Giustarini et al.
