Bacterial cell-body rotation driven by a single flagellar motor and by a bundle.
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 1 paper.
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
Using self-trapped Escherichia coli bacteria that have intact flagellar bundles on glass surfaces, we study statistical fluctuations of cell-body rotation in a steady (unstimulated) state. These fluctuations underline direction randomization of bacterial swimming trajectories and plays a fundamental role in bacterial chemotaxis. A parallel study is also conducted using a classical rotation assay in which cell-body rotation is driven by a single flagellar motor. These investigations allow us to draw the important conclusion that during periods of counterclockwise motor rotation, which contributes to a run, all flagellar motors are strongly correlated, but during the clockwise period, which contributes to a tumble, individual motors are uncorrelated in long times. Our observation is consistent with the physical picture that formation and maintenance of a coherent flagellar bundle is provided by a single dominant flagellum in the bundle.
