Imaging mass spectrometry in microbiology.
Review in Nature reviews. Microbiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 148 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
Imaging mass spectrometry tools allow the two-dimensional visualization of the distribution of trace metals, metabolites, surface lipids, peptides and proteins directly from biological samples without the need for chemical tagging or antibodies, and are becoming increasingly useful for microbiology applications. These tools, comprising different imaging mass spectrometry techniques, are ushering in an exciting new era of discovery by enabling the generation of chemical hypotheses based on the spatial mapping of atoms and molecules that can correlate to or transcend observed phenotypes. In this Innovation article, we explore the wide range of imaging mass spectrometry techniques that is available to microbiologists and describe the unique applications of these tools to microbiology with respect to the types of samples to be investigated.
