Emerging Aspects of Jumbo Bacteriophages.
Review in Infection and drug resistance, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
The bacteriophages have been explored at a huge scale as a model system for their applications in many biological-related fields. Jumbo phages with a large genome size from 200 to 500 kbp were not previously assigned a great value, and characterized by complex structures coupled with large virions with a wide variety of hosts. The origin of most of the jumbo phages was not well understood; however, many other prominent features have been discovered recently. In the current review, we strive to unearth the most advanced characteristics of jumbo phages, particularly their significance and structural organization that holds immense value to the viral life cycle. The unique characteristics of jumbo phages are the basis of variations in different types of phages concerning their organization at the genomic level, virion structure, evolution, and progeny propagation. The presence of tRNA and additional translation-related genes along with chaperonin genes mark the ability of these phages for being independent of host molecular machinery enabling them to have wide host options. A large number of jumbo phages have been isolated from various sources through advanced standard screening methods. The current review has summarized the available data on jumbo phages and discussed the genome orientation of jumbo phages, translational machinery, diversity and evolution of jumbo phages. In the studies conducted, jumbo phages possessed special additional genes that helps to reduce the dependence of jumbo phages on their hosts. Furthermore, their genomes might have evolved from smaller genome phages.
