Microsporidia: a model for minimal parasite-host interactions.
Review in Current opinion in microbiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 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
Microsporidia are emerging fungi-like intracellular parasites of economic, veterinary and medical importance. The strategy they use to invade their host is related to the rapid extrusion of a unique and highly specialized organelle, the polar tube, which allows the injection of the infectious spore content within a target cell. This original process seems to be dependent on initial interactions between parasite and host cell components. The extreme reduction and compaction of most microsporidian genomes resulted in the loss of many metabolic pathways, which makes these parasites highly dependent on their host. Recent significant advances have been made in the understanding of mammal and insect immune responses against microsporidian infections with the involvement of both adaptive and innate immunity.
