Evolution of Interbacterial Antagonism in Bee Gut Microbiota Reflects Host and Symbiont Diversification.
Article in mSystems, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Gram-negative bacteria frequently possess type VI secretion systems (T6SSs), protein complexes that are able to inject toxic proteins into nearby cells. Many aspects of T6SS structure and function have been characterized for model species, but less is known about the evolutionary processes that shape T6SS and effector (toxin) diversity in host-associated microbial communities. The bee gut microbiota is a simple community that has codiversified with bees for >80 million years. This study investigated how complements of T6SSs and effectors within the bee microbiota changed as bacteria and their hosts diversified into isolated species. We used protein homology to survey 198 isolate genomes of 9 Gram-negative species for genes encoding T6SS structural components; Rhs toxins, which are common T6SS effectors; and VgrG proteins, which are structural components associated with specific toxins. T6SS loci were present in 5 species clusters found only in bees, namely
