Susceptibilities of Cryptococcus neoformans strains to platelet binding in vivo and to the fungicidal activity of thrombin-induced platelet microbicidal proteins in vitro.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2001. 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
In this study we investigated the interactions between capsular and acapsular strains of Cryptococcus neoformans and blood platelets. In vivo microscopic observation of blood samples from mice inoculated with C. neoformans yeast cells demonstrated that encapsulated and nonencapsulated yeast cells disappeared quickly from the bloodstream and that platelets were attached solely to yeast cells of the nonencapsulated strains. In vitro we observed that only the acapsular strains were susceptible to the fungicidal activity of thrombin-induced platelet microbicidal proteins.
