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

Swarming motility is the movement of bacteria over a solid surface powered by rotating flagella. The expression of flagellar biosynthesis genes is governed by species-specific master regulator transcription factors. Mutations that reduce or enhance master regulator activity have a commensurate effect on swarming motility. Here we review what is known about the proteins that modulate swarming motility and appear to act upstream of the master flagellar regulators in diverse swarming bacteria. We hypothesize that environmental control of the master regulators is important to the swarming phenotype perhaps at the level of controlling flagellar number.
