Sporulation: how to survive on planet Earth (and beyond).
Review in Current genetics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 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
Sporulation is a strategy widely utilized by a wide variety of organisms to adapt to changes in their individual environmental niches and survive in time and/or space until they encounter conditions acceptable for vegetative growth. The spores produced by bacteria have been the subjects of extensive studies, and several systems such as Bacillus subtilis have provided ample opportunities to understand the molecular basis of spore biogenesis and germination. In contrast, the spores of other microbes, such as fungi, are relatively poorly understood. Studies of sporulation in model systems such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus nidulans have established a basis for investigating eukaryotic spores, but very little is known at the molecular level about how spores function. This is especially true among the spores of human fungal pathogens such as the most common cause of fatal fungal disease, Cryptococcus neoformans. Recent proteomic studies are helping to determine the molecular mechanisms by which pathogenic fungal spores are formed, persist and germinate into actively growing agents of human disease.
