Role of flagella and type four pili in the co-migration of Burkholderia terrae BS001 with fungal hyphae through soil.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. 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
Burkholderia terrae BS001 has previously been found to be able to disperse along with growing fungal hyphae in soil, with the type-3 secretion system having a supportive role in this movement. In this study, we focus on the role of two motility- and adherence-associated appendages, i.e. type-4 pili (T4P) and flagella. Electron microcopy and motility testing revealed that strain BS001 produces polar flagella and can swim on semi-solid R2A agar. Flagellum- and T4P-negative mutants were then constructed to examine the ecological roles of the respective systems. Both in liquid media and on swimming agar, the mutant strains showed similar fitness to the wild-type strain in mixed culture. The flagellar mutant had completely lost its flagella, as well as its swimming capacity. It also lost its co-migration ability with two soil-exploring fungi, Lyophyllum sp. strain Karsten and Trichoderma asperellum 302, in soil microcosms. In contrast, the T4P mutant showed reduced surface twitching motility, whereas its co-migration ability in competition with the wild-type strain was slightly reduced. We conclude that the co-migration of strain BS001 with fungal hyphae through soil is dependent on the presence of functional flagella conferring swimming motility, with the T4P system having a minor effect.
