Diversity and distribution of Type VI Secretion System gene clusters in bacterial plasmids.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) is a nanomolecular apparatus that allows the delivery of effector molecules through the cell envelope of a donor bacterium to prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic cells, playing a role in the bacterial competition, virulence, and host interaction. T6SS is patchily distributed in bacterial genomes, suggesting an association with horizontal gene transfer (HGT). In fact, T6SS gene loci are eventually found within genomic islands (GIs), and there are some reports in plasmids and integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs). The impact that T6SS may have on bacteria fitness and the lack of evidence on its spread mechanism led us to question whether plasmids could represent a key mechanism in the spread of T6SS in bacteria. Therefore, we performed an in-silico analysis to reveal the association between T6SS and plasmids. T6SS was mined on 30,660 plasmids from NCBI based on the presence of at least six T6SS core proteins. T6SS was identified in 330 plasmids, all belonging to the same type (T6SS
