Chance and Necessity in Bacillus subtilis Development.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Bacillus subtilis is an important model bacterium for the study of developmental adaptations that enhance survival in the face of fluctuating environmental challenges. These adaptations include sporulation, biofilm formation, motility, cannibalism, and competence. Remarkably, not all the cells in a given population exhibit the same response. The choice of fate by individual cells is random but is also governed by complex signal transduction pathways and cross talk mechanisms that reinforce decisions once made. The interplay of stochastic and deterministic mechanisms governing the selection of developmental fate on the single-cell level is discussed in this article.
