Controlling cell size through sizer mechanisms.
Review in Current opinion in systems biology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 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 size is partly determined through coordination between cell growth and division. How this coordination is achieved mechanistically remains mostly unknown. However, quantitative experiments together with computational modelling have reinvigorated the field and are elucidating underlying molecular processes. Size homeostasis may be achieved through different modes of regulation, including "sizers", "adders" and "timers." For sizer regulation, the cell division cycle does not proceed until a minimal size has been reached, requiring that the cell monitors its own size. Here, we highlight progress in defining sizer mechanisms in fission and budding yeasts showing how accumulation or dilution of key molecules can be used to monitor cell size during growth. We also discuss a potential role for sizers in bacterial size control.
