Wolbachia heat shock protein 60 induces pro-inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis in monocytes in vitro.
Article in Microbes and infection, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Recombinant Wolbachia heat shock protein 60 (rWmhsp60) induces gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in human monocytic cell line THP-1. In addition, it inhibits the phagocytic activity and does not alter the nitric oxide production by differentiated THP-1 macrophages, which corroborates with no significant change in inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression in rWmhsp60 treated THP-1 monocytes. Further, 24 h stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from normal individuals by rWmhsp60 reveals that monocytes enter the late apoptotic stage, while lymphocytes do not show apoptosis. Thus these findings suggest that rWmhsp60 may contribute to inflammation mediated monocyte dysfunction in filarial pathogenesis.
