Calcium Prevents Biofilm Dispersion in Bacillus subtilis.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Biofilm dispersion is the final stage of biofilm development, during which biofilm cells actively escape from biofilms in response to deteriorating conditions within the biofilm. Biofilm dispersion allows cells to spread to new locations and form new biofilms in better locations. However, dispersal mechanisms have been elucidated only in a limited number of bacteria. Here, we investigated biofilm dispersion in Bacillus subtilis. Biofilm dispersion was clearly observed when B. subtilis was grown under static conditions in modified LB medium containing glycerol and manganese. Biofilm dispersion was synergistically caused by two mechanisms: decreased expression of the
