Intrabacterial Regulation of a Cytotoxic Effector by Its Cognate Metaeffector Promotes Legionella pneumophila Virulence.
Article in mSphere, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Legionella pneumophila is a natural pathogen of unicellular protozoa that can opportunistically infect macrophages and cause Legionnaires' Disease. Intracellular replication is driven by hundreds of bacterial effector proteins that are translocated into infected host cells by a Dot/Icm type IV secretion system. L. pneumophila effectors are temporally regulated in part by a unique family of translocated regulatory effectors, termed metaeffectors, which bind and modulate the function of a cognate effector in host cells. Regulation of the cytotoxic effector SidI by its cognate metaeffector, MesI, is critical for L. pneumophila virulence in natural and opportunistic hosts. MesI binds and negatively regulates SidI activity
