Cell-to-cell bacterial interactions promoted by drier conditions on soil surfaces.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 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
Bacterial cell-to-cell interactions are in the core of evolutionary and ecological processes in soil and other environments. Under most conditions, natural soils are unsaturated where the fragmented aqueous habitats and thin liquid films confine bacterial cells within small volumes and close proximity for prolonged periods. We report effects of a range of hydration conditions on bacterial cell-level interactions that are marked by plasmid transfer between donor and recipient cells within populations of the soil bacterium
