Sex differences in immune responses to infectious diseases.
Review in Infection, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 98 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
purposeThe influence of sex hormones is recognized to account for the susceptibility and distinct outcomes of diverse infectious diseases.
methodsThis review discusses several variables including differences in behavior and exposure to pathogens, genetic, and immunological factors.
conclusionUnderstanding sex-based differences in immunity during different infectious diseases is crucial in order to provide optimal disease management for both sexes.
