1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, is not only the predominant constituent of plants but also a key extracellular polysaccharide in the biofilms of many bacterial species. Depending on the producers, chemical modifications, and three-dimensional assemblies, bacterial cellulose (BC) can present diverse degrees of crystallinity. Highly ordered, or crystalline, cellulose presents great economical relevance due to its ever-growing number of biotechnological applications. Even if some acetic acid bacteria have long been identified as BC superproducers, the molecular mechanisms determining the secretion of crystalline versus amorphous cellulose remain largely unknown. Here, we present structural and mechanistic insights into the role of the accessory subunits BcsH (CcpAx) and BcsD (CesD) that determine crystalline BC secretion in the
