Gliding motility of Mycoplasma mobile can occur by repeated binding to N-acetylneuraminyllactose (sialyllactose) fixed on solid surfaces.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
Mycoplasma mobile relies on an unknown mechanism to glide across solid surfaces including glass, animal cells, and plastics. To identify the direct binding target, we examined the factors that affect the binding of Mycoplasma pneumoniae to solid surfaces and concluded that N-acetylneuraminyllactose (sialyllactose) attached to a protein can mediate glass binding on the basis of the following four lines of evidence: (i) glass binding was inhibited by N-acetylneuraminidase, (ii) glass binding was inhibited by N-acetylneuraminyllactose in a structure-dependent manner, (iii) binding occurred on glass pretreated with bovine serum albumin attached to N-acetylneuraminyllactose, and (iv) gliding speed depended on the density of N-acetylneuraminyllactose on glass.
