1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Understanding the mechanisms that underlie the organization of bacterial cells has become a significant challenge in the field of bacterial cytology. Of specific interest are early macromolecular sorting events that establish cellular non-uniformity and provide chemical landmarks for later localization events. In this review, we will examine specific examples of lipids and proteins that appear to exploit differences in membrane curvature to drive their localization to particular regions of a bacterial cell. We will also discuss the physical limits of curvature-mediated localization within bacteria, and the use of modelling to infer biophysical properties of curvature-sensing macromolecules.
