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

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are commonly cryopreserved for immune cell profiling analyses, like flow cytometry. Cryopreservation of PBMCs may affect the recovery of immune cell subsets or the presence of cell-surface molecules, potentially skewing results compared to freshly isolated PBMCs. The ectonucleotidase CD39 promotes immunosuppression through the hydrolysis of extracellular nucleotides such as adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) to limit P2X7 activation and downstream immune responses. Because of this, CD39 and P2X7 are emerging as potential biomarkers in cancer and other diseases. Using flow cytometry, this study demonstrated that an anti-human CD39 monoclonal antibody (mAb) (clone TU66) bound human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells transfected with human CD39, but not mock-transfected HEK293 cells. In contrast, an anti-human P2X7 mAb (clone 1058613) bound similarly to HEK293 cells transfected with human P2X7 and non-transfected HEK293 cells. Using flow cytometry, this study then assessed the impact of cryopreservation on the population frequencies of immune cell subsets including CD39
