CTAB-mediated, single-step preparation of competent Escherichia coli, Bifidobacterium sp. and Kluyveromyces lactis cells.
Article in Meta gene, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
An efficient and reproducible method for transformation depends on the competency of the organism. We have developed a simple method for the preparation of competent Escherichia coli, Kluyveromyces lactis, and Bifidobacterium sp. by using a buffer containing cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and permits efficient uptake of plasmid DNA and ligation-reaction products. Cells are harvested, washed, mixed with 1-10 μg/ml CTAB, incubated, and followed by a buffer wash. For long-term storage of competent cells, bacteria may be frozen in 10% glycerol without the addition of other components. The transformation process is very simple; plasmid DNA and the cells are mixed and incubated for 5-60 min at 4 °C; no heat pulse is required, and the duration of incubation at 4 °C is not crucial.
