Transcriptional analysis of the principal cell division gene, ftsZ, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Multiple promoters drive the expression of the principal cell division gene, ftsZ, in bacterial systems. Primer extension analysis of total RNA from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a Mycobacterium smegmatis transformant containing 1.117 kb of the upstream region of M. tuberculosis ftsZ and promoter fusion studies identified six ftsZ transcripts and their promoters in the ftsQ open reading frame and ftsQ-ftsZ intergenic region. The presence of multiple promoters reflects the requirement to maintain a high basal level of, or to differentially regulate, FtsZ expression during different growth conditions of the pathogen in vivo.
