Simultaneous expression of different variant-specific surface proteins in single Giardia lamblia trophozoites during encystation.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
A novel variant-specific surface protein (VSP) from Giardia was identified using the monoclonal antibody 9B10, raised against purified cyst walls. VSP9B10B is preferentially induced during encystation and expressed simultaneously with other VSPs on the surface of encysting trophozoites. These results support the hypothesis that encystation and antigenic variation are processes that are mechanistically related.
