Analysis of the Adhesive-Invasive Potential of Two Morphologically Different Types of Mycoplasma hominis Colonies.
Article in Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 2022. 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
Mycoplasma hominis is an opportunistic human pathogen that causes acute and chronic infections of the urogenital tract. A new form of M. hominis colonies (microcolonies) was isolated, that differed from typical colonies by morphology, size, growth rate, and resistance to unfavorable factors, in particular, to antibiotics. The formation of microcolonies is associated with a switch in energy metabolism towards nucleoside utilization, which leads to a decrease in energy production and a transition to a persistor-like state. Typical and microcolony cultures of M. hominis H-34 were obtained and a comparative analysis of their adhesive-invasive potential, morphology, and size was carried out. It was shown that both typical and microcolonies can effectively attach and penetrate into HeLa cells. Unlike microcolonies, the morphology and size of cells in typical colonies change significantly after HeLa infection. This indicates functional changes in cells of typical colonies during infection.
