Accumulation and Phagocytosis of Fluorescently Visualized Macrophages Against Edwardsiella piscicida Infection in Established mpeg1.1-Transgenic Japanese Medaka Oryzias latipes.
Article in Marine biotechnology (New York, N.Y.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intracellular bacteria such as those belonging to the genus Edwardsiella can survive and proliferate within macrophages. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying the host macrophage immune response and pathogen evasion strategies remain unknown. To advance the field of host macrophage research, we successfully established transgenic (Tg) Japanese medaka Oryzias latipes that possesses fluorescently visualized macrophages. As a macrophage marker, the macrophage-expressed gene 1.1 (mpeg1.1) was selected because of its predominant expression across various tissues in medaka. To validate the macrophage characteristics of the fluorescently labeled cells, May-Grünwald Giemsa staining and peroxidase staining were conducted. The labeled cells exhibited morphological features consistent with those of monocyte/macrophage-like cells and tested negative for peroxidase activity. Through co-localization studies, the fluorescently labeled cells co-localized with E. piscicida in the intestines and kidneys of infected medaka larvae, confirming the ingestion of bacteria through phagocytosis. In addition, the labeled cells expressed macrophage markers but lacked a neutrophil marker. These results suggested that the fluorescently labeled cells of Tg[mpeg1.1:mCherry/mAG] medaka were monocytes/macrophages, which will be useful for future studies aimed at understanding the mechanisms of macrophage-mediated bacterial infections.
