DDX3 DEAD-box RNA helicase (Hel67) gene disruption impairs infectivity of Leishmania donovani and induces protective immunity against visceral leishmaniasis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. 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
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne disease caused by the digenetic protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani complex. So far there is no effective vaccine available against VL. The DDX3 DEAD-box RNA Helicase (Hel67) is 67 kDa protein which is quite essential for RNA metabolism, amastigote differentiation, and infectivity in L. major and L. infantum. To investigate the role of Hel67 in the L. donovani, we created L. donovani deficient in the Hel67. Helicase67 null mutants (LdHel67
