Inhibition of predation by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and Micavibrio aeruginosavorus via host cell metabolic activity in the presence of carbohydrates.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and Micavibrio aeruginosavorus are highly motile Gram-negative predatory bacteria with the potential of being used as biocontrol agents or living antibiotics. It was suggested previously that sugar-binding proteins play a role in M. aeruginosavorus and B. bacteriovorus host specificity and predator-prey interactions. The effect of carbohydrates on predation was reexamined in this study. It was demonstrated that the presence of carbohydrates could indeed block predation. However, further investigation demonstrated that inhibition of predation was due to medium acidification by the metabolic activity of the host and not to a blocking of a putative sugar-binding protein. The data presented here might be of value when storing, growing, and cultivating predatory bacteria, as well as when considering environmental conditions that might influence predation in the field.
