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

Microbes can be readily cultured and their genomes can be easily manipulated. For these reasons, laboratory systems of unicellular organisms are increasingly used to develop and test theories about biological constraints, which manifest themselves at different levels of biological organization, from optimal gene-expression levels to complex individual and social behaviors. The quantitative description of biological constraints has recently advanced in several areas, such as the formulation of global laws governing the entire economy of a cell, the direct experimental measurement of the trade-offs leading to optimal gene expression, the description of naturally occurring fitness landscapes, and the appreciation of the requirements for a stable bacterial ecosystem.
