Live from under the lens: exploring microbial motility with dynamic imaging and microfluidics.
Review in Nature reviews. Microbiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 55 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
Motility is one of the most dynamic features of the microbial world. The ability to swim or crawl frequently governs how microorganisms interact with their physical and chemical environments, and underpins a myriad of microbial processes. The ability to resolve temporal dynamics through time-lapse video microscopy and the precise control of the physicochemical microenvironment afforded by microfluidics offer powerful new opportunities to study the many motility adaptations of microorganisms and thereby further our understanding of their ecology. In this Review, we outline recent insights into the motility strategies of microorganisms brought about by these techniques, including the hydrodynamic signature of microorganisms, their locomotion mechanics, chemotaxis, their motility near and on surfaces, swimming in moving fluids and motility in dense microbial suspensions.
