Host Genetics and the Skin Microbiome Independently Predict Parasite Resistance.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. 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
Host responses to parasite infection involve several interacting systems. Host genetics determine much of the response, but it is increasingly clear that the host-associated microbiome also plays a role. Host genetically determined systems and the microbiome can also interact; for example, the microbiome can modulate the immune response, and vice versa. However, it remains unclear how such interactions between the host immune system and the microbiome may influence the host's overall response to parasites. To investigate how host genetics and the microbiome interact to shape responses to parasites, we imposed truncation selection on Trinidadian guppies (
