Gene transfer in Mycoplasma pulmonis.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Experiments were undertaken to examine gene transfer in Mycoplasma pulmonis. Parent strains containing transposon-based tetracycline and chloramphenicol resistance markers were combined to allow transfer of markers. Two mating protocols were developed. The first consisted of coincubating the strains in broth culture for extended periods of time. The second protocol consisted of a brief incubation of the combined strains in a 50% solution of polyethylene glycol. Using either protocol, progeny that had acquired antibiotic resistance markers from both parents were obtained. Analysis of the progeny indicated that only the transposon and not flanking genomic DNA was transferred to the recipient cell. Gene transfer was DNase resistant and probably the result of conjugation or cell fusion.
