Real-time characterisation of microbe-induced inflammation using a novel zebrafish larval corneal injury and infection model.
Article in Communications biology, 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
Microbial keratitis (MK) is a major global cause of blindness. Yet, treatment is heavily dependent on antimicrobials with limited options for immunomodulators - despite the critical role of dysregulated immune responses in disease pathogenesis. This gap reflects a critical unmet clinical need and is compounded by the lack of model systems capable of real-time high-resolution immune dynamics analysis. To address this, we developed a zebrafish larvae MK model utilising transgenic zebrafish lines with fluorescently labelled neutrophils, macrophages and basal epithelial cells. Corneal injury triggered rapid immune cell recruitment which was amplified by exposure to pro-inflammatory mediators such as N-formylmethionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF) and leukotriene B
