Use of Galleria mellonella as an Animal Model for Studying the Antimicrobial Activity of Bacteriophages with Potential Use in Phage Therapy.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Interest in phage therapy has increased in the last decade, and animal models have become essential in this field. The larval stage of the wax moth, Galleria mellonella, represents an easy-to-handle model. The larvae have an innate immune response and survive at 37 °C, which is ideal for infection and antimicrobial studies with bacteriophages. In this chapter, we describe the procedures used to study the antimicrobial activity of bacteriophages in a G. mellonella infection model.
