Pulmonary Expression of Interleukin-17 Contributes to Neutrophil Infiltration into the Lungs during Pneumonic Plague.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2023. 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
Inhalation of respiratory droplets infected with Yersinia pestis results in a rapidly progressing and lethal necrotic pneumonia called primary pneumonic plague. Disease manifests as biphasic, with an initial preinflammatory phase with rapid bacterial replication in the lungs absent readily detectable host immune responses. This is followed by the onset of a proinflammatory phase that sees the dramatic upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines and extensive neutrophil accumulation in the lungs. The plasminogen activator protease (Pla) is an essential virulence factor that is responsible for survival of Y. pestis in the lungs. Our lab recently showed that Pla functions as an adhesin that promotes binding to alveolar macrophages to facilitate translocation of effector proteins called Yops into the cytosol of target host cells via a type 3 secretion system (T3SS). Loss of Pla-mediated adherence disrupted the preinflammatory phase of disease and resulted in early neutrophil migration to the lungs. While it is established that
