1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Intracellular pH (pH IMPORTANCE: This study shows how the physiological response to commonly used weak organic acid food preservatives, such as sorbic and acetic acids, can be measured at the single-cell level. These data are key to coupling often-observed single-cell heterogeneous growth behavior upon the addition of weak organic acid food preservatives. Generally, these data are gathered in the form of plate counting of samples incubated with the acids. Here, we visualize the underlying heterogeneity in cellular pH homeostasis, opening up avenues for mechanistic analyses of the heterogeneity in the weak acid stress response. Thus, microbial risk assessment can become more robust, widening the scope of use of these well-known weak organic acid food preservatives.
