Cell Surface Polysaccharides Represent a Common Strategy for Adsorption among Phages Infecting Lactic Acid Bacteria: Lessons from Dairy Lactococci and Streptococci.
Article in mSystems, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Food fermentations rely on the application of robust bacterial starter cultures, the majority of which are represented by members of the lactic acid bacteria including Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus thermophilus. Bacteriophage (or phage) proliferation remains one of the most significant threats to the fermentation industry. Therefore, it is imperative to define the phage ecology of fermented foods and to elucidate the mechanisms by which they recognize and bind to their bacterial hosts. Through a combination of functional and comparative genomics and structural analysis of the phage-host interactome, it is now possible to link the genotypes of strains of certain bacterial species to the chemical composition/structure of the associated cell wall polysaccharides (CWPS). In this paper, I discuss how the identification of common host recognition and binding strategies facilitates the development of rational starter culture systems and the implications of these findings in the context of sustainable food production systems.
