Bacterial Swarming: A Model System for Studying Dynamic Self-assembly.
Article in Soft matter, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 92 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
Bacterial swarming is an example of dynamic self-assembly in microbiology in which the collective interaction of a population of bacterial cells leads to emergent behavior. Swarming occurs when cells interact with surfaces, reprogram their physiology and behavior, and adapt to changes in their environment by coordinating their growth and motility with other cells in the colony. This review summarizes the salient biological and biophysical features of this system and describes our current understanding of swarming motility. We have organized this review into four sections: 1) The biophysics and mechanisms of bacterial motility in fluids and its relevance to swarming. 2) The role of cell/molecule, cell/surface, and cell/cell interactions during swarming. 3) The changes in physiology and behavior that accompany swarming motility. 4) A concluding discussion of several interesting, unanswered questions that is particularly relevant to soft matter scientists.
