Gene Sets and Mechanisms of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria Biofilm Formation and Quorum Sensing With Impact on Corrosion.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 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
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) have a unique ability to respire under anaerobic conditions using sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor, reducing it to hydrogen sulfide. SRB thrives in many natural environments (freshwater sediments and salty marshes), deep subsurface environments (oil wells and hydrothermal vents), and processing facilities in an industrial setting. Owing to their ability to alter the physicochemical properties of underlying metals, SRB can induce fouling, corrosion, and pipeline clogging challenges. Indigenous SRB causes oil souring and associated product loss and, subsequently, the abandonment of impacted oil wells. The sessile cells in biofilms are 1,000 times more resistant to biocides and induce 100-fold greater corrosion than their planktonic counterparts. To effectively combat the challenges posed by SRB, it is essential to understand their molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation and corrosion. Here, we examine the critical genes involved in biofilm formation and microbiologically influenced corrosion and categorize them into various functional categories. The current effort also discusses chemical and biological methods for controlling the SRB biofilms. Finally, we highlight the importance of surface engineering approaches for controlling biofilm formation on underlying metal surfaces.
