Roles of FtsEX in cell division.
Review in Research in microbiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
FtsEX is a member of a small subclass of ABC transporters that uses mechano-transmission to perform work in the periplasm. FtsEX controls periplasmic peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolase activities in many Gram negative and positive organisms to ensure the safe separation of daughter cells during division. In these organisms FtsEX localizes to the Z ring and uses its ATPase activity to regulate its periplasmic effectors. In Escherichia coli, FtsEX also participates in building the divisome and coordinates PG synthesis with PG hydrolysis. This review discusses studies that are beginning to elucidate the mechanisms of FtsEX's various roles in cell division.
