Effects of D-amino acids on the EPS production and cell aggregation of Alteromonas macleodii strain JL2069.
Article in Current microbiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Exopolysaccharide (EPS) is produced by many marine bacteria and is important for cell aggregation in the ocean. D-amino acids are important components in bacteria and are recently recognized as signal molecules for regulation of bacterial growth. In this study, the effects of D-amino acids on EPS production, cell aggregation, and metabolic activity were investigated using an EPS-producing bacterium Alteromonas macleodii strain JL2069. EPS produced by JL2069 was inhibited by 1 mM of D-Ala and D-Ser, but not by D-Glu. The formation of particulate organic matter (POM) was promoted by the three amino acids. A new technique of microcalorimetry analysis indicated that the metabolic activity of the JL2069 cells was inhibited by these D-amino acids. Our results suggested that D-amino acids may reduce the bacterial metabolism by changing bacterial lifestyle from planktonic to cell aggregation growth which occurs independent of the production of EPS.
