Transport of lipopolysaccharides and phospholipids to the outer membrane.
Review in Current opinion in microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Cells must build and maintain at least one membrane that surrounds essential cellular components and provides structural integrity. Gram-negative bacteria possess an inner membrane, which separates the aqueous cytoplasmic and periplasmic compartments, and an outer membrane, which surrounds the periplasm. The outer membrane is an asymmetric bilayer with phospholipids in its inner leaflet and lipopolysaccharides in its outer leaflet. This structure provides cellular integrity and prevents the entry of many toxic compounds into the cell. Constructing the outer membrane is challenging, since its lipid constituents must be synthesized within the inner membrane, transported across the periplasm, and ultimately assembled into an asymmetric structure. This review highlights major recent advances in our understanding of the mechanism and structure of the intermembrane, multi-protein machine that transports lipopolysaccharide across the cell envelope. Although our understanding of phospholipid transport is very limited, we also provide a brief update on this topic.
