Antimicrobial properties of Anopheles albimanus pericardial cells.
Article in Cell and tissue research, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Insect pericardial cells (PCs) are strategically located along the dorsal vessel where they encounter a high hemolymph flow enabling them to undertake their osmoregulatory, detoxifying, and scavenging functions. In this location, PCs also encounter foreign molecules and microorganisms. The response of PCs of the mosquito Anopheles albimanus, one of the most important Plasmodium vivax vectors in Mexico and Latin America, to Saccharomyces cerevisiae was analyzed by using biochemical, cellular, ultrastructural, and bioinformatics approaches. Immune gene transcripts were identified in the PC transcriptome of A. albimanus. PCs responded to the presence of yeast and zymosan with increased lysosomal and phosphatase activities and produced lytic activity against bacteria. Our results indicate that mosquito PCs play a key role in the neutralization and elimination of pathogens.
