Quorum Sensing Circuits in the Communicating Mechanisms of Bacteria and Its Implication in the Biosynthesis of Bacteriocins by Lactic Acid Bacteria: a Review.
Review in Probiotics and antimicrobial proteins, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
It is well established that bacteria communicate between each other by using different mechanisms; among which, quorum sensing (QS) is the best known one. Indeed, intra- and intercellular communications of microorganisms, as well as the regulation of metabolism and reaction to the surrounding environmental conditions, are carried out by using different signaling molecules. N-Acyl homoserine lactones control the QS in Gram-negative bacteria, while Gram-positive bacteria use communicating peptides. These compounds, by diffusing through the bacterial membrane cell from the extracellular medium, directly or indirectly control the expression of specific genes that induce bacteria to react to their surrounding environment and stressing agents. In the case of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria which are widely used in the dairy industry, QS is of extreme importance for their survival and the extent of their activity in the dairy matrix. Moreover, it is also via QS that these bacteria synthesize various antimicrobial agents such as bacteriocins. The aim of this review is to highlight the quorum sensing circuits involved in the communicating mechanisms of bacteria with emphasis on current applications of QS in lactic acid bacteria. More particularly, the implication of QS in the biosynthesis of bacteriocins by lactic acid bacteria will be detailed.
