The bacterial cell cycle, chromosome inheritance and cell growth.
Review in Nature reviews. Microbiology, 2019. 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
All viable bacterial cells, whether they divide symmetrically or asymmetrically, must coordinate their growth, division, cell volume and shape with the inheritance of the genome. These coordinated processes maintain genome integrity over generations as chromosomes are duplicated and segregated during each cell cycle, and include the organization of DNA into nucleoids, controlled and faithful DNA replication, chromosome unlinking and faithful segregation into daughter cells. In this Review, we explore the contributions of chromosome structure and nucleoid organization to cell cycle regulation, detail the cellular processes involved in the initiation of DNA replication and DNA segregation and explore how those processes are linked to cell growth and cell division. Furthermore, we address how the study of a growing number of bacterial species enables the search for common principles that underlie the coordination of chromosome inheritance with the cell cycle.
