Compounds affecting predation by and viability of predatory bacteria.
Review in Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Bdellovibrio-and-like organisms (BALOs) are a small group of bacteria that actively predate on other Gram-negative bacterial species. Although viewed mostly in a positive light, such as their potential use as living antibiotics to reduce pathogenic strain populations, several studies have also highlighted the need to control their activities, such as in the production of biodiesel. Consequently, this mini-review discusses research being conducted to characterize compounds and environmental settings that influence predation rates and the mechanisms by which they accomplish this, with a heavy emphasis on studies published within the last decade.Key points• This review discusses bacterial predators and factors impacting their activities. • Emphasis is on recent articles, particularly those discussing prey metabolites. • The implications on possible applications of bacterial predators are discussed.
