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
In the present study, we report the identification of a putative enoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) hydratase/isomerase that is required for synthesis of the biofilm dispersion autoinducer cis-2-decenoic acid in the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The protein is encoded by PA14_54640 (PA0745), named dspI for dispersion inducer. The gene sequence for this protein shows significant homology to RpfF in Xanthomonas campestris. Inactivation of dspI was shown to abolish biofilm dispersion autoinduction in continuous cultures of P. aeruginosa and resulted in biofilms that were significantly greater in thickness and biomass than those of the parental wild-type strain. Dispersion was shown to be inducible in dspI mutants by the exogenous addition of synthetic cis-2-decenoic acid or by complementation of ΔdspI in trans under the control of an arabinose-inducible promoter. Mutation of dspI was also shown to abolish cis-2-decenoic acid production, as revealed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of cell-free spent culture medium. The transcript abundance of dspI correlated with cell density, as determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase (RT) PCR. This regulation is consistent with the characterization of cis-2-decenoic acid as a cell-to-cell communication molecule that regulates biofilm dispersion in a cell density-dependent manner.
