Recent insights in the development and functions of insect hemocytes.
Review in Current opinion in insect science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Hemocytes mediate defense responses that are collectively referred to as cellular immunity. Here, I highlight recent progress in the study of hemocyte ontogeny and function. Studies conducted primarily in D. melanogaster, mosquitoes, and Lepidoptera identify a number of transcription factors and signaling pathways that regulate hemocyte differentiation and proliferation. Single-cell RNA sequencing studies identify genes that distinguish transitional states in different hemocyte populations and changes that occur during immune responses. Several new studies expand the understanding of the functions of sessile hemocytes. Recent results also enhance understanding of the signaling pathways that regulate hemocyte functions.
