Bacterial cell shape control by nutrient-dependent synthesis of cell division inhibitors.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
By analyzing cell size and shapes of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis under nutrient perturbations, protein depletion, and antibiotic treatments, we find that cell geometry is extremely robust, reflected in a well-conserved scaling relation between surface area (S) and volume (V), S∼V
