The Long and Winding Road for Symbiont and Yolk Protein to Host Oocyte.
Article in mBio, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Many insects are intimately associated with microbial symbionts, which are passed to developing oocytes in the maternal body for ensuring vertical transmission to the next generation. Previous studies uncovered that some symbionts utilize preexisting host's molecular and cellular machineries for targeting oocytes. For example, the major yolk protein vitellogenin (Vg) is massively produced in fat body cells, processed and transported to ovaries, and incorporated into developing oocytes via Vg receptor (VgR)-mediated endocytosis, and some symbiotic bacteria were reported to interact with Vg and migrate to oocytes by hitchhiking the VgR-mediated endocytotic mechanism. In a recent study, Mao et al. (mBio 12:e01142-20, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1128/mBio.01142-20) reported that, in some leafhoppers, a considerable proportion of Vg is incorporated into symbiotic bacteria and translocated into oocytes by hitchhiking the symbiont's vertical transmission mechanism, uncovering the host's cooption of the symbiont's oocyte-targeting machineries and highlighting complicated trajectories toward host-symbiont coevolution and integration.
