Doublets of the unicellular organism
Article in Marine life science & technology, 2022. 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
Ciliated protists are one of the most diverse and highly differentiated group among unicellular organisms. Doublets occur in ciliates when two cells fuse into a single individual. Doublets contain two major cellular components (either cell in a doublet) and have traditionally been considered as developmental anomalies. Nevertheless, doublets can divide or even conjugate effectively, which may represent dispersal forms of the life stages. In addition, morphogenesis, as an important process in the life cycle, will provide important insights into the complex differentiation mechanism and various physiological phenomena. However, morphogenetic studies focusing on doublets of ciliates are very limited, which has become an obstacle to understand their complete life history. Here we isolated a doublet strain from the marine species
