A complex path for domestication of B. subtilis sociality.
Review in Current genetics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Microorganisms adapt to the lab environment by eliminating unnecessary genetic systems. In Bacillus subtilis, such adaptation resulted in the lab strain being unable to form complex, matrix-associated structures known as biofilms. We recently showed that the ancestor of the lab strain, which is considered by the research community to be a stereotypical 'wild' strain, carries an atypical mutation in the RapP-PhrP quorum-sensing system. We have found that this mutation has profound effects on the biofilm phenotype of the ancestral strain. Here we discuss these recent findings and present more data that focuses on the lessons that can be learned from this work on the domestication of microorganisms.
