Bacteriophages Infecting Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Commercial Cucumber Fermentation.
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 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
Cucumber fermentations are one of the most important vegetable fermentations in the United States. The fermentation is usually driven by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) indigenous to fresh cucumbers. But LAB are greatly outnumbered by many Gram-negative bacteria on fresh cucumbers, which may influence the growth of LAB and the incidence of bloater defect (hollow cavities formed inside fermented cucumbers) leading to serious economic loss to the pickle industry. Rapid elimination of Gram-negative bacteria is crucial to the dominance of LAB and the reduction of bloater defect in the fermentation. Various factors can affect the viability of Gram-negative bacteria in cucumber fermentation. Bacteriophages (phages) may be one of such factors. This study explored the abundance, diversity, and functional role of phages infecting Gram-negative bacteria in a commercial cucumber fermentation. Cover brine samples were taken from a commercial fermentation tank over a 30-day period. On day 1 and day 3 of the fermentation, 39 Gram-negative bacteria and 26 independent phages were isolated. Nearly 67% of Gram-negative bacterial isolates were susceptible to phage infection. Phage hosts include
