Power-law tail in lag time distribution underlies bacterial persistence.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 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
Genetically identical microbial cells respond to stress heterogeneously, and this phenotypic heterogeneity contributes to population survival. Quantitative analysis of phenotypic heterogeneity can reveal dynamic features of stochastic mechanisms that generate heterogeneity. Additionally, it can enable a priori prediction of population dynamics, elucidating microbial survival strategies. Here, we quantitatively analyzed the persistence of an
