Separation of chromosome termini during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis depends on SpoIIIE.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2007. 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
Bacillus subtilis undergoes a highly distinctive division during spore formation. It yields two unequal cells, the mother cell and the prespore, and septum formation is completed before the origin-distal 70% of the chromosome has entered the smaller prespore. The mother cell subsequently engulfs the prespore. Two different probes were used to study the behavior of the terminus (ter) region of the chromosome during spore formation. Only one ter region was observed at the time of sporulation division. A second ter region, indicative of chromosome separation, was not distinguishable until engulfment was nearing completion, when one was in the mother cell and the other in the prespore. Separation of the two ter regions depended on the DNA translocase SpoIIIE. It is concluded that SpoIIIE is required during spore formation for chromosome separation as well as for translocation; SpoIIIE is not required for separation during vegetative growth.
