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

Bacterial chemotaxis allows bacteria to sense the chemical environment and modulate their swimming behavior accordingly. Although the intracellular chemotaxis signaling pathway has been studied extensively, experimental studies are still lacking that could provide direct link from the pathway output (the intracellular concentration of the phosphorylated form of the response regulator phosphorylated CheY (CheY-P)) to single-cell swimming behavior. Here, we measured the swimming behavior of individual Escherichia coli cells while simultaneously detecting the intracellular CheY-P concentration, thereby providing a direct relationship between the intracellular CheY-P concentration and the single-cell run-and-tumble behavior. The measured relationship is consistent with the ultrasensitivity of the motor switch and a "veto model" that describes the interaction among individual flagella, although contribution from the voting mechanism could not be ruled out.
