Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition in Bacteria: Do Not Get Too Close!
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Over millions of years of evolution, bacteria have developed complex strategies for intra-and interspecies interactions and competition for ecological niches and resources. Contact-dependent growth inhibition systems (CDI) are designed to realize a direct physical contact of one bacterial cell with other cells in proximity via receptor-mediated toxin delivery. These systems are found in many microorganisms including clinically important human pathogens. The main purpose of these systems is to provide competitive advantages for the growth of the population. In addition, non-competitive roles for CDI toxin delivery systems including interbacterial signal transduction and mediators of bacterial collaboration have been suggested. In this review, our goal was to systematize the recent findings on the structure, mechanisms, and purpose of CDI systems in bacterial populations and discuss the potential biological and evolutionary impact of CDI-mediated interbacterial competition and/or cooperation.
