Immunolocalization of cuticular proteins in Johnston's organ and the corneal lens of Anopheles gambiae.
Article in Arthropod structure & development, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Previous work with EM immunolocalization examined the intracuticular placement of several antibodies directed against cuticular proteins (CPs) in various structures of Anopheles gambiae. Those structures had long stretches of fairly uniform cuticle. We have now used 19 antibodies directed against members of five CP families on two adult structures with considerable complexity, Johnston's organ and the corneal lens of the compound eye. We also localized chitin with colloidal-gold labeled wheat germ agglutinin. Twelve of these antibodies recognized structures in Johnston's organ. Only 6 were detected in the outer pedicel wall, but the internal structures were more complex with distinct distributions of members of the five CP families in six different structures. The corneal lens had four distinct regions of laminar cuticle. Thirteen of the 15 members of the CPR family were detected, none from the other CP families. Specific antibodies were localized to different regions and in different laminae within a region. The specificity of deployment of cuticular proteins revealed in this study is helping to explain why An. gambiae allocates about 2% of its protein coding genes to structural CPs.
