Carotenoid-based immune response in sea cucumbers relies on newly identified coelomocytes-the carotenocytes.

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
Sea cucumbers are marine deuterostomes possessing a complex innate immune system composed of a wide diversity of immune cells-coelomocytes-making them compelling models for exploring the evolution of immunity. This study investigates the functional specialisation of coelomocytes within the two main echinoderm body fluids, namely, the perivisceral fluid (PF) from the perivisceral cavity and the hydrovascular fluid (HF) from the hydrovascular-ambulacral system. Given their distribution restricted to the HF, haemocyte-like cells (HELs) are particularly investigated. In echinoderms, haemocytes have been described as reddish cells containing haemoglobin and thus presenting a function in oxygen transport. Using an integrative approach that combines cell morphological analyses, pigment profiling, and multi-omics technologies, we demonstrate in the sea cucumber
