1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

There are numerous ways by which cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) inhibits motility. Kuchma et al. (S. L. Kuchma, N. J. Delalez, L. M. Filkins, E. A. Snavely, J. P. Armitage, and G. A. O'Toole, J. Bacteriol. 197:420-430, 2015, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/JB.02130-14) offer a new, previously unseen way of swarming motility inhibition in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14. This bacterium possesses a single flagellum with one rotor and two sets of stators, only one of which can provide torque for swarming. The researchers discovered that elevated levels of c-di-GMP inhibit swarming by skewing stator selection in favor of the nonfunctional, "bad" stators.
