Metabolic Heterogeneity and Cross-Feeding in Bacterial Multicellular Systems.
Review in Trends in microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 58 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
Cells in assemblages differentiate and perform distinct roles. Though many pathways of differentiation are understood at the molecular level in multicellular eukaryotes, the elucidation of similar processes in bacterial assemblages is recent and ongoing. Here, we discuss examples of bacterial differentiation, focusing on cases in which distinct metabolisms coexist and those that exhibit cross-feeding, with one subpopulation producing substrates that are metabolized by a second subpopulation. We describe several studies of single-species systems, then segue to studies of multispecies metabolic heterogeneity and cross-feeding in the clinical setting. Many of the studies described exemplify the application of new techniques and modeling approaches that provide insights into metabolic interactions relevant for bacterial growth outside the laboratory.
