Activation of RelA by pppGpp as the basis for its differential toxicity over ppGpp in
Article in Journal of biosciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 nucleotide derivatives (p)ppGpp, comprising ppGpp and pppGpp, are important signalling molecules that control various facets of gene regulation and protein synthesis in Escherichia coli. Their synthesis is catalysed by RelA (in response to amino acid limitation) and by SpoT (in response to the limitation of carbon source or fatty acids). SpoT is also a hydrolase for degradation of both ppGpp and pppGpp, while GppA catalyses the conversion of pppGpp to ppGpp. Here we provide evidence to show that pppGpp exerts heightened toxicity compared to that by ppGpp. Thus, gppA spoT double mutants exhibited lethality under conditions in which the single mutants were viable. The extent of RelA-catalysed (p)ppGpp accumulation in the gppA spoT strain was substantially greater than that in its isogenic gppA
