Propidium iodide enabled live imaging of Pasteuria sp.-Pratylenchus zeae infection studies under fluorescence microscopy.
Article in Protoplasma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Live imaging allows observations of cell structures and processes in real time, to monitor dynamic changes within living organisms compared to fixed organisms. Fluorescence microscopy was used to monitor the dynamic infection process of the nematode parasitic bacterium Pasteuria sp. and the sugarcane root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus zeae. Under fluorescence microscopy, green-autofluorescent globules were observed in live control and Pasteuria sp.-infected nematodes. Only nematodes killed by Pasteuria sp. or heat treated displayed a diffuse pattern of autofluorescence. Propidium iodide (PI), used as a cell membrane integrity indicator, confirmed that the nematode's cuticle acts as an impermeable barrier. PI stained cells/DNA of heat-treated control and Pasteuria sp.-infected P. zeae. PI as a counterstain facilitated the location of Pasteuria endospores on the cuticle surface of P. zeae. No PI staining was observed in sporangia and in endospores within the nematode body. However, PI specifically stained endospores on the cuticle surface and within the cuticle carcass showing, in mature propagules, a ring-like pattern. Live imaging, combined with fluorescence microscopy and fluorescent dyes such as PI, appears useful in live studies on plant nematode interactions with nematophagous bacteria.
