Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles from Cilia and Epithelial Cells of Ductuli Efferentes in a Turtle (
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The ductuli efferentes (DE) form a transit passage for the passage of spermatozoa from the rete testis to the epididymis. After spermiation, various epithelial secretory proteins are transferred via extracellular vesicles (EVs) to the spermatozoa for their maturation and long-term viability. The aim of the present study was to investigate the distribution, classification, and source of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and their EVs in the epithelia of the efferentes duct in a turtle species, the soft-shelled freshwater turtle
