Multiple modes of interconverting dynamic pattern formation by bacterial cell division proteins.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 59 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
Min proteins of the Escherichia coli cell division system oscillate between the cell poles in vivo. In vitro on a solid-surface supported lipid bilayer, these proteins exhibit a number of interconverting modes of collective ATP-driven dynamic pattern formation including not only the previously described propagating waves, but also near uniformity in space surface concentration oscillation, propagating filament like structures with a leading head and decaying tail and moving and dividing amoeba-like structures with sharp edges. We demonstrate that the last behavior most closely resembles in vivo system behavior. The simple reaction-diffusion models previously proposed for the Min system fail to explain the results of the in vitro self-organization experiments. We propose the hypotheses that initiation of MinD binding to the surface is controlled by counteraction of initiation and dissociation complexes; the binding of MinD/E is stimulated by MinE and involves polymerization-depolymerization dynamics; polymerization of MinE over MinD oligomers triggers dynamic instability leading to detachment from the membrane. The physical properties of the lipid bilayer are likely to be one of the critical determinants of certain aspects of the dynamic patterns observed.
