Experimental infection of acute bee paralysis virus induces differential responses of selected honey bee immune genes, independent of varroa resistance.
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
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) have a complex immune system, with both innate and social immunity. The mite-resistant honeybee population from Gotland, Sweden, is well-known for their independent resistance to Varroa destructor mites and tolerance to virus infections, particularly deformed wing virus and acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV). However, the immune mechanisms underlying their virus tolerance remains unclear. Adult bees from this mite-resistant (MR) and a mite-susceptible (MS) control population were orally inoculated with either ABPV or a mock inoculum, in a laboratory time-course experiment. Two representative genes from five major immune signalling pathways, previously shown to respond to viral infections, were quantified using RT-qPCR. The genes exhibited distinct responses to ABPV inoculation, with some genes showing clear treatment-related differential expression between 24 and 48 h post-inoculation while other genes remained unaffected. However, there was no difference in the expression patterns between MR and MS populations. These findings suggest that the enhanced virus tolerance of the Gotland mite-resistant population is not due to differential regulation of the immune genes examined here. They also highlight the dynamic nature of immune gene expression, refine hypotheses for further studies of honeybee virus tolerance and motivate more comprehensive molecular analyses of a selection of these samples.
