Local inflammation at the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) attachment site contributes to copepodid rejection in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch).

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
The study investigates the susceptibility of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Pacific salmon species (pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha; coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch; and chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta) to the parasitic salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). The research had two main objectives: to characterize the morphology of the scaly skin in four salmonid species and to compare the cellular response at the louse attachment site in coho salmon and Atlantic salmon. Three consecutive challenge trials were conducted, with successful louse infestation only achieved across all four species in the third trial using mild anesthesia with tricaine methanesulfonate. Skin and fin samples were collected at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 168 h post-infestation (hpi) for histological, proteomic, and spatial transcriptomic analyses. Results showed that chum salmon had significantly higher mucous cell coverage (30-40%) in the epithelium of scaly skin compared to Atlantic salmon (10%). At the louse attachment site in coho salmon, there was a greater influx of inflammatory cells at 36-48 hpi compared to Atlantic salmon. Proteomic analysis at 12 hpi and 36 hpi in coho salmon showed upregulation of neutrophil degranulation and formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine signaling. Additionally, spatial transcriptomics at the attachment site showed local upregulation of inflammatory gene markers. These findings suggest that coho salmon mount a rapid and large-scale inflammatory response driven by neutrophils to louse attachment within the first 48 hpi. Overall, the study emphasizes the significance of local changes at the host-parasite interface for resistance mechanisms against salmon lice.
