Single-Cell Bacterial Electrophysiology Reveals Mechanisms of Stress-Induced Damage.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
An electrochemical gradient of protons, or proton motive force (PMF), is at the basis of bacterial energetics. It powers vital cellular processes and defines the physiological state of the cell. Here, we use an electric circuit analogy of an Escherichia coli cell to mathematically describe the relationship between bacterial PMF, electric properties of the cell membrane, and catabolism. We combine the analogy with the use of bacterial flagellar motor as a single-cell "voltmeter" to measure cellular PMF in varied and dynamic external environments (for example, under different stresses). We find that butanol acts as an ionophore and functionally characterize membrane damage caused by the light of shorter wavelengths. Our approach coalesces noninvasive and fast single-cell voltmeter with a well-defined mathematical framework to enable quantitative bacterial electrophysiology.
