Physiological Benefits of Oxygen-Terminating Extracellular Electron Transfer.
Review in mBio, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Extracellular electron transfer (EET) is a process via which certain microorganisms, such as bacteria, exchange electrons with extracellular materials by creating an electrical link across their membranes. EET has been studied for the reactions on solid materials such as minerals and electrodes with implication in geobiology and biotechnology. EET-capable bacteria exhibit broad phylogenetic diversity, and some are found in environments with various types of electron acceptors/donors not limited to electrodes or minerals. Oxygen has also been shown to serve as the terminal electron acceptor for EET of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. However, the physiological significance of such oxygen-terminating EETs, as well as the mechanisms underlying them, remain unclear. In order to understand the physiological advantage of oxygen-terminating EET and its link with energy metabolism, in this review, we compared oxygen-terminating EET with aerobic respiration, fermentation, and electrode-terminating EET. We also summarized benefits and limitations of oxygen-terminating EET in a biofilm setting, which indicate that EET capability enables bacteria to create a niche in the anoxic zone of aerobic biofilms, thereby remodeling bacterial metabolic activities in biofilms.
