Dueling in the lung: how Cryptococcus spores race the host for survival.
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 66 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
Many human fungal pathogens infect people when they are inhaled as spores. Despite the serious impact of fungal spores on human health, little is known about their basic properties or how they interact with the host. This is particularly true for Cryptococcus neoformans, a human fungal pathogen that causes more than 600,000 deaths annually. Spores of C. neoformans have not been well characterized previously because of technical challenges in isolating them; however, recent advances in spore isolation have lead to the first direct analyses of spores. Novel insights into the spore-host interaction, specifically how spores interact with alveolar macrophages, have provided a new model of cryptococcosis that could have broad implications for human fungal pathogenesis.
