Co-opting the Lap System of Pseudomonas fluorescens To Reversibly Customize Bacterial Cell Surfaces.
Article in ACS synthetic biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Initial attachment to a surface is a key and highly regulated step in biofilm formation. In this study, we present a platform for reversibly functionalizing bacterial cell surfaces with an emphasis on designing biofilms. We engineered the Lap system of Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1, which is normally used to regulate initial cell surface attachment, to display various protein cargo at the bacterial cell surface and control extracellular release of the cargo in response to changing levels of the second messenger c-di-GMP. To accomplish this goal, we fused the protein cargo between the N-terminal retention module and C-terminal secretion signal of LapA and controlled surface localization of the cargo with natural signals known to stimulate or deplete c-di-GMP levels in P. fluorescens Pf0-1. We show this system can tolerate large cargo in excess of 500 amino acids, direct P. fluorescens Pf0-1 to surfaces it does not typically colonize, and program this microbe to sequester the toxic medal cadmium.
