Symbiotic relationship between Microbacterium sp. SK0812 and Candida tropicalis SK090404.
Article in Journal of microbiology (Seoul, Korea), 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A bacterium growing inside yeast cytoplasm was observed by light microscope without staining. The bacterium was separately stained from yeast cell by a fluorescent dye, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The bacterium actively moved inside yeast cytoplasm and propagated in company with the yeast growth. The bacterium was separated from the yeast cytoplasm by selective disruption of yeast cells and the yeast without the intracellular bacterium (YWOB) was obtained by selective inactivation of bacterial cells. The yeast and the intracellular bacterium were identified as Candida tropicalis and Microbacterium sp., respectively. The length of Microbacterium sp. and C. tropicalis measured with SEM image was smaller than 0.5 microm and was larger than 5 microm, respectively. The yeast with the intracellular bacterium (YWIB) grew in a starch-based medium but the YWOB was not C. tropicalis has neither extracellular nor intracellular saccharification enzyme. Glucose was produced from starch by the extracellular crude enzyme (culture fluid) of Microbacterium sp. YWIB produced significantly more ethanol from glucose than YWOB but did not from starch. Conclusively, C. tropicalis is thought to catabolize starch dependent upon Microbacterium sp. growing in its cytoplasm and furnish stable habitat for the Microbacterium sp.
