1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Most bacteria respond to surfaces by biogenesis of intracellular c-di-GMP, which inhibits motility and induces secretion of biofilm-promoting adherence factors. Bacterial cellulose is a widespread biofilm component whose secretion in Gram-negative species requires an inner membrane, c-di-GMP-dependent synthase tandem (BcsAB), an outer membrane porin (BcsC), and various accessory subunits that regulate synthase assembly and function as well as the exopolysaccharide's chemical composition and mechanical properties. We recently showed that in
