Evidence that hyaluronidase is not involved in tissue invasion of the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2000. 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
As previous reports suggested that a hyaluronidase is involved in tissue invasion of Entamoeba histolytica, we searched for such an activity in trophozoite extracts. A hyaluronidase activity was not detectable in long-term cultures or in amoebae freshly passaged through a gerbil liver, as evidenced by four different techniques.
