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

Physiological heterogeneity among single cells with identical genetic information has been observed in a large number of bacterial phenotypes, including growth, stress responses, cell size, and antibiotic tolerance. Despite the widespread observation of this phenomenon in bacterial populations, not much is known about the molecular mechanisms behind phenotypic heterogeneity. Currently, our understanding is primarily limited to transcriptional profile of single cells using fluorescence reporters. Although the development of these tools has been extremely informative, it cannot fully explain the heterogeneity seen in populations. In a recent publication, Fan et al. have developed a dual-fluorescent reporter system that is capable of quantitatively measuring translational fidelity in single cells. It is shown that translational fidelity is heterogeneous and affects the growth characteristics of single cells. The development of tools for analysis of molecular heterogeneity downstream of transcription may play an important role in advancing our understanding of the physiology of bacterial populations.
