High-salt stress conditions increase the pAW63 transfer frequency in Bacillus thuringiensis.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Conjugation experiments with Bacillus thuringiensis and transfer kinetics demonstrated that salt stress has a positive impact on plasmid transfer efficiency. Compared to standard osmotic conditions (0.5% NaCl), plasmid transfer occurred more rapidly, and at higher frequencies (>100-fold), when bacteria were exposed to a high-salt stress (5% NaCl) in liquid brain heart infusion (BHI). Under milder salt conditions (2.5% NaCl), only a 10-fold effect was observed in Luria-Bertani broth and no difference was detected in BHI. These observations are particularly relevant in the scope of potential gene exchanges among members of the Bacillus cereus group, which includes food-borne contaminants and pathogens.
