Localization of SpoVAD to the inner membrane of spores of Bacillus subtilis.
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 45 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 products of the hexacistronic spoVA operon of Bacillus subtilis may be involved in the transport of dipicolinic acid into the forespore during sporulation and its release during spore germination. The major hydrophilic coding region of B. subtilis spoVAD was cloned, the protein was expressed in Escherichia coli as a His tag fusion protein, and a rabbit antiserum was raised against the purified protein. Western blot analyses of fractions from B. subtilis spores showed that SpoVAD is an integral inner membrane protein present at levels >50-fold higher than those of the spore's nutrient germinant receptors that are also present in the inner membrane. SpoVAD also persisted in outgrowing spores.
