Vitellogenin gene expression in autogenous Culex tarsalis.
Article in Insect molecular biology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Autogeny, the ability of a mosquito to mature an initial batch of eggs without blood feeding, is an alternative reproductive strategy with important implications for vector-borne disease transmission. Regulation of the major yolk protein (vitellogenin; Vg) genes during bloodmeal-induced oogenesis is well studied, but little is known about regulation of vitellogenesis in autogenous mosquitoes. We characterized the expression of four vitellogenin genes (Vg1a, Vg1b, Vg2a and Vg2b) in an autogenous strain of the West Nile Virus vector, Culex tarsalis. All vitellogenin genes were expressed during autogenous reproduction and following a bloodmeal, although the intensity and duration of expression varied amongst genes. Quantitative PCR analysis of vitellogenin transcription during autogeny revealed a similar temporal pattern to known vitellogenin expression profiles in anautogenous Aedes aegypti. Vitellogenin transcript, primarily produced from the Vg1b gene, was also detected in the larval and pupal stages of development, but no detectable vitellogenin protein was produced during this time period.
