An engineered Mycoplasma pneumoniae to fight Staphylococcus aureus.
Article in Molecular systems biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Bacterial infections are commonly treated with antimicrobials, but the rise of multi-drug resistance and the presence of biofilms can compromise treatment efficacy. Recently, new approaches using live bacteria or engineered microorganisms have gained attention in the fight against several diseases. In their recent work, Lluch-Senar and colleagues (Garrido et al, 2021) genetically modified the lung pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae to attenuate its virulence and secrete antibiofilm and bactericidal enzymes. Their strategy successfully altered a Staphylococcus aureus biofilm on catheters implanted in mice, providing an additional demonstration of the potential of genetically engineered microorganisms as therapeutic agents.
