Exploring glycocalyx components powering the contact between Entamoeba histolytica and bacteria during non-opsonic phagocytosis.
Review in PLoS pathogens, 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
Phagocytosis is a cornerstone of the immune defence, allowing cells to eliminate pathogens through both opsonic and non-opsonic pathways. In protozoa such as Entamoeba histolytica, non-opsonic phagocytosis is not only central to survival but also to its ability to cause disease, with its life cycle closely intertwined with the intestinal microbiota, which supplies bacteria and their metabolic byproducts to support trophozoite growth. Yet, despite its significance, the molecular basis of how E. histolytica recognises and engulfs bacteria remains largely unresolved. This review examines the cell-surface molecules that may mediate bacteria-amoeba interactions and highlights new strategies to uncover their roles, offering fresh insight into the dynamics of non-opsonic phagocytosis.
