The flexible linker of the secreted FliK ruler is required for export switching of the flagellar protein export apparatus.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The hook length of the flagellum is controlled to about 55 nm in Salmonella. The flagellar type III protein export apparatus secretes FliK to determine hook length during hook assembly and changes its substrate specificity from the hook protein to the filament protein when the hook length has reached about 55 nm. Salmonella FliK consists of an N-terminal domain (FliK
