Cryo-EM of bacterial pili and archaeal flagellar filaments.
Review in Current opinion in structural biology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have opened up the possibility that a large class of biological structures, helical polymers, may now be readily reconstructed at near-atomic resolution. This will have a huge impact, since most of these structures are unlikely to be crystallized. This review focuses on new cryo-EM studies involving three classes of bacterial pili (chaperone-usher, mating, and Type IV) as well as on archaeal flagellar filaments. While it has long been known that one domain within archaeal flagellar filaments is homologous to a domain within bacterial Type IV pilins, the new studies shed light on how homologous and even highly conserved subunits can pack together in different ways with only small changes in sequence.
