The Diversity of Symbiotic Systems in Scale Insects.
Article in Results and problems in cell differentiation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Most scale insects, like many other plant sap-sucking hemipterans, harbor obligate symbionts of bacterial or fungal origin, which synthesize and provide the host with substances missing in their restricted diet. Histological, ultrastructural, and molecular analyses have revealed that scale insects differ in the type of symbionts, the localization of symbionts in the host body, and the mode of transmission of symbionts from one generation to the next. Symbiotic microorganisms may be distributed in the cells of the fat body, midgut epithelium, inside the cells of other symbionts, or the specialized cells of a mesodermal origin, termed bacteriocytes. In most scale insects, their symbiotic associates are inherited transovarially, wherein the mode of transmission may have a different course-the symbionts may invade larval ovaries containing undifferentiated germ cells or ovaries of adult females containing vitellogenic or choriogenic oocytes.
