Quorum Sensing Signals Alter
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Cell-density dependent quorum sensing (QS) is fundamental for many coordinated behaviors among bacteria. Most recently several studies have revealed a role for bacterial QS communication in bacteriophage (phage) reproductive decisions. However, QS based phage-host interactions remain largely unknown, with the mechanistic details revealed for only a few phage-host pairs and a dearth of information available at the microbial community level. Here we report on the specific action of eight different individual QS signals (acyl-homoserine lactones; AHLs varying in acyl-chain length from four to 14 carbon atoms) on prophage induction in soil microbial communities. We show QS autoinducers, triggered prophage induction in soil bacteria and the response was significant enough to alter bacterial community composition
