The N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase gene promotes growth and cell differentiation of cyanobacteria under light-limiting conditions.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Inactivation of sll0861 in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 or the homologous gene alr2432 in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 had no effect on the growth of these organisms at a light intensity of 30 micromol photons m(-2) s(-1) but reduced their growth at a light intensity of 5 or 10 micromol photons m(-2) s(-1). In Anabaena, inactivation of the gene also significantly reduced the rate of heterocyst differentiation under low-light conditions. The predicted products of sll0861 and alr2432 and homologs of these genes showed similarity to N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase (MurQ), an enzyme involved in peptidoglycan recycling, in Escherichia coli. E. coli murQ and the cyanobacterial homologs could functionally substitute for each other. We hypothesize that murQ in cyanobacteria promotes low-light adaptation through reutilization of peptidoglycan degradation products.
