Updates on ion and water transport by the Malpighian tubule.
Review in Current opinion in insect science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The Malpighian (renal) tubule is capable of transporting fluid at remarkable rates. This review will focus on recent insights into the mechanisms by which these high rates are achieved and controlled, with particular reference to the tubules of Drosophila melanogaster, in which the combination of physiology and genetics has led to particularly rapid progress. Like many vertebrate epithelia, the Drosophila tubule has specialized cell types, with active cation transport confined to a large, metabolically active principal cell; whereas the smaller intercalated stellate cell controls chloride and water shunts to achieve net fluid secretion. Recently, the genes underlying many of these processes have been identified, functionally validated and localized within the tubule. The imminent arrival of new types of post-genomic data (notably single cell sequencing) will herald an exciting era of new discovery.
