Characterization and function of membrane vesicles in Gram-positive bacteria.
Review in Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 54 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
In recent years, extracellular vesicles have gained more attention. However, studies on membrane vesicles in Gram-positive bacteria were carried out relatively late because of the thick bacterial wall and the low production of membrane vesicles. Thanks to the research in recent years, the cognition of the composition and function of the membrane vesicles of Gram-positive bacteria has made significant progress. Membrane vesicles are spherical in shape comprising bilayer membranous structures with a diameter of 20-400 nm. Components of membrane vesicles are diverse, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites. It also has been reported that membrane vesicles are involved in various pathophysiological processes and serve as communication tools in pathophysiological activities between the bacteria and the host. This review provided the current understanding of components and functions of membrane vesicles in Gram-positive bacteria. The findings might facilitate further research in the emerging field of membrane vesicles in Gram-positive bacteria. KEY POINTS: • Membrane vesicles in Gram-positive bacteria contain proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites, suggesting their biological significance. • Membrane vesicles in Gram-positive bacteria are thought to be involved in stress response, biofilm formation, immune regulation, and so on.
