The bcsA gene influences multiple aspects of development in Myxococcus xanthus.
Article in Current microbiology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
M. xanthus strains containing a mutation in the bcsA gene are able to bypass the B and C signaling requirements for development. The bcsA mutant was examined with regards to several aspects of development to better ascertain the function of the bcsA gene. The bcsA mutant developed on nutrient levels sufficient to support vegetative growth in wild-type cells, supporting previous evidence that the bcsA gene inhibits development. The earliest effect of the bcsA mutation on the development program was when cells were beginning to aggregate together to form fruiting bodies. Spores produced by bcsA mutants were hypersusceptible to sodium dodecyl sulfate, suggesting that the bcsA gene is important for optimal spore production. Transcription of the bcsA gene was induced significantly during development at a time when cells were beginning to aggregate together. Collectively, these results indicate that the bcsA gene inhibits development and is also transcriptionally upregulated during development.
