Stress-Induced Mutagenesis.
Article in EcoSal Plus, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Early research on the origins and mechanisms of mutation led to the establishment of the dogma that, in the absence of external forces, spontaneous mutation rates are constant. However, recent results from a variety of experimental systems suggest that mutation rates can increase in response to selective pressures. This chapter summarizes data demonstrating that,under stressful conditions, Escherichia coli and Salmonella can increase the likelihood of beneficial mutations by modulating their potential for genetic change.Several experimental systems used to study stress-induced mutagenesis are discussed, with special emphasison the Foster-Cairns system for "adaptive mutation" in E. coli and Salmonella. Examples from other model systems are given to illustrate that stress-induced mutagenesis is a natural and general phenomenon that is not confined to enteric bacteria. Finally, some of the controversy in the field of stress-induced mutagenesis is summarized and discussed, and a perspective on the current state of the field is provided.
