Chemosensory signaling controls motility and subcellular polarity in Myxococcus xanthus.
Review in Current opinion in microbiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Myxococcus xanthus is a model system for the study of dynamic protein localization and cell polarity in bacteria. M. xanthus cells are motile on solid surfaces enabled by two forms of motility. Motility is controlled by the Che-like Frz pathway, which is essential for fruiting body formation and differentiation. The Frz signal is mediated by a GTPase/GAP protein pair that establishes cell polarity and directs the motility systems. Pilus driven motility at the leading pole of the cell requires dynamic localization of two ATPases and the coordinated production of EPS synthesis. Gliding motility requires dynamic movement of large protein complexes, but the mechanism by which this system generates propulsive force is still an active area of investigation.
