Review of the nature, diversity and structure of bacteriophage receptor binding proteins that target Gram-positive bacteria.
Review in Biophysical reviews, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 72 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
As the importance of bacteriophages as novel antimicrobials and potential diagnostics comes increasingly into focus, there is a heightened interest in understanding the mechanisms of how they interact with their bacterial hosts. The first step of a bacteriophage (phage) infection is the recognition of specific moieties on the bacterial cell surface as determined by their phage receptor binding proteins (RBPs). Knowledge of RBPs and how they interact with bacteria has been driven by studies of model phages and of industrially important phages, such as those that impact the dairy industry. Therefore, data from these phage groups constitute the majority of this review. We start with a brief introduction to phages, their life cycles and known receptors. We then review the state-of-the-art knowledge of phage RBPs of Gram-positive bacteria in the context of the better understood Gram-negative bacterial RBPs. In general, more is known about the RBPs of siphoviruses than myoviruses, which is reflected here, but for both virus families, where possible, we show what RBPs are, how they are arranged within phage genomes and what is known about their structures. As RBPs are the key determinant of phage specificity, studying and characterising them is important, for downstream applications such as diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
