The Apicomplexan CDC/MACPF-like pore-forming proteins.
Review in Current opinion in microbiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Pore-forming proteins (PFPs) encompass a broad family of proteins that are used for virulence or immune defense. Members of the cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) and membrane attack complex/perforin (MACPF) family of PFPs form large β-barrel pores in the membrane. The CDC/MACPF proteins contain a characteristic four-stranded β-sheet that is flanked by two α-helical bundles, which unfold to form two transmembrane β-hairpins. Apicomplexan eukaryotic parasites express CDC/MACPFs termed perforin-like proteins (PLPs). Here we review recent studies that provide key insights into the assembly and regulation of the Apicomplexan PLP (ApiMACPF) molecular pore-forming mechanisms, which are necessary for the osmotically driven rupture of the parasitophorous vacuole and host cell membrane, and cell traversal by these parasites.
