A common step for changing cell shape in fruiting body and starvation-independent sporulation of Myxococcus xanthus.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
Myxococcus xanthus can sporulate in either of two ways: at the end of the program of fruiting body development or after exposure of growing cells to certain reagents such as concentrated glycerol. Fruiting body sporulation requires starvation, while glycerol sporulation requires rapid growth, and since the two types of spores are structurally somewhat different, it has generally been assumed that the two processes are different. However, a Tn5 Lac insertion mutation, Omega7536, has been isolated which simultaneously blocks the development of fruiting body spores as well as glycerol-induced spores. Both sporulation pathways are blocked in the mutant within the process that converts a rod-shaped cell into a spherical spore. The Omega7536 locus is expressed at the time of cell shape change appropriate to each process, early after glycerol induction and late after starvation induction. On the C-signal response pathway, it is possible to identify positions for the normal function of the Omega7536 locus and for the inducing stimulus from glycerol that are unique and consistent with the observations. Although the two sporulation pathways differ in certain respects, it is shown that they share at least one step for changing a rod-shaped cell into a spherical spore.
