Chemotaxis to pyrimidines and identification of a cytosine chemoreceptor in Pseudomonas putida.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
We developed a high-throughput quantitative capillary assay and demonstrated that Pseudomonas putida strains F1 and PRS2000 were attracted to cytosine, but not thymine or uracil. In contrast, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was not chemotactic to any pyrimidines. Chemotaxis assays with a mutant strain of F1 in which the putative methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein-encoding gene Pput_0623 was deleted revealed that this gene (designated mcpC) encodes a chemoreceptor for positive chemotaxis to cytosine. P. putida F1 also responded weakly to cytidine, uridine, and thymidine, but these responses were not mediated by mcpC. Complementation of the F1 DeltamcpC mutant XLF004 with the wild-type gene restored chemotaxis to cytosine. In addition, introduction of this gene into P. aeruginosa PAO1 conferred the ability to respond to cytosine. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a chemoreceptor for cytosine.
