The Oligosaccharide Region of LPS Governs Predation of E. coli by the Bacterivorous Protist, Acanthamoeba castellanii.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Protozoan predation is a major cause of bacterial mortality. The first step of predation for phagocytic amoebae is the recognition of their prey. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of Gram-negative bacteria and is only present on the outer leaflet of the outer membrane lipid bilayer. LPS consists of three distinct regions: lipid A, an oligosaccharide core, and
