A Rab-based view of membrane traffic in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila.
Article in Small GTPases, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Biologists have long recognized that some single-celled organisms show striking morphological and behavioral complexity, and details of the genetic underpinnings can be mined from the trove of newly-sequenced genomes. Ciliates, among which Tetrahymena thermophila and Paramecium tetraurelia have received most attention, provide clear examples of a lineage in which, as in animal cells, the core pathways of membrane traffic have undergone dramatic expansion and elaboration to facilitate multiple modes of exocytosis and endocytosis. Recent surveys of the Rab GTPases in T. thermophila, including analysis of a large set of GFP-tagged copies, provide a new set of compartmental markers for this lineage, as well as striking views of membrane dynamics in these cells. In addition, phylogenetic analysis of the Tetrahymena Rabs suggests that different eukaryotic lineages may have independently evolved some functionally similar pathways.
