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

While bacteria typically lack membrane bound organelles, the mechanisms of subcellular organization have been unclear. Bacteria have recently been found to harbor membraneless organelles containing enzymes of many biochemical pathways. These organelles, called biomolecular condensates, have been found to commonly form through the process of liquid-liquid phase separation and are typically enriched in nucleic acid binding proteins. Interestingly, eukaryote and bacterial transcription and RNA decay machinery have been found to form biomolecular condensates. Additionally, DEAD Box ATPases from eukaryotes and bacteria have also been found to modulate biomolecular condensates. The shared ability of RNA metabolic enzymes to assemble into biomolecular condensates across domains suggests that this mode of subcellular organization aids in the control of RNA metabolism.
