Structure and diversity of abdominal exocrine glands in larvae of Leiodidae (Insecta: Coleoptera: Staphylinoidea).
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Epidermal glands are well-known in adult beetles, but their presence and function are less studied in larvae. This study reveals, for the first time for the family Leiodidae, the morphology and ultrastructure of epidermal, paired glands of abdominal segments present in larvae. They are documented in all larval stages of the scavenger beetle Sciodrepoides watsoni watsoni (using a multimodal microscopic approach: light and scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopy). Overview of these structures is also documented for other representatives of Leiodidae and Agyrtidae, basal lineages of the megadiverse Staphylinoidea. Structures differ in their position relative to a transverse cuticle fold, in the size and shape of the perforate cuticular area, and in the position and form of their openings. Their ultrastructure in Sciodrepoides watsoni watsoni strongly indicates a secretory function. All abdominal segmental glands are formed by a complex of (1) regular class 1 gland cells type 1, (2) modified class 1 cells type 2, with an apical reservoir-like invagination, and (3) class 3 gland units, consisting of one basal secretory cell plus a canal cell. All these glands have their own openings to the cuticle surface. Their secretions do not mix before their transport to the surface.
