Fine structure of the uterus in tapeworm Tetrabothrius erostris (Cestoda: Tetrabothriidea).
Article in Parasitology research, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The uterine organization in Tetrabothrius erostris (Tetrabothriidea) was investigated by the methods of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. In sexually mature proglottids, the uterine wall consists of a syncytial epithelium (1.4-2.5 μm thick, except in regions containing nuclei). The ribosomes, mitochondria and numerous cisternae of granular endoplasmic reticulum with concentric or parallel profiles with electron lucent material are observed in the epithelium. The uterine wall is characterized by the abundance of lipid droplets that are localized inside the long protrusions of the uterine epithelium (called fungiform papillae) up to 15-17 μm and in the surrounding medullary parenchyma. The protrusions with lipid droplets in the proximal ends of the uterus are located closely to each other. A basal matrix (up to 0.6 μm thick) supports the uterine epithelium. The musculature consisting of 1-2 muscle layers is well developed; large myocytons are connected with the myofibrils and have a nucleus that reaches 4 μm in size. In gravid proglottids, the epithelium without nuclei is reduced to 0.2-1.6 μm thick. The number of protrusions of the uterine epithelium and lipid droplets in the epithelial layer decreases. Sparse small muscle bundles underlay the uterine wall at this stage; the basal matrix is feebly marked. The matrotrophy or the support by nutrition from the parent organism to embryos is discussed for T. erostris which belongs to oligolecital cestodes and possesses numerous lipid droplets in the uterine wall during the development of embryos.
