The Burden of Survivors: How Can Phage Infection Impact Non-Infected Bacteria?
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The contemporary understanding of complex interactions in natural microbial communities and the numerous mechanisms of bacterial communication challenge the classical concept of bacteria as unicellular organisms. Microbial populations, especially those in densely populated habitats, appear to behave cooperatively, coordinating their reactions in response to different stimuli and behaving as a quasi-tissue. The reaction of such systems to viral infection is likely to go beyond each cell or species tackling the phage attack independently. Bacteriophage infection of a fraction of the microbial community may also exert an influence on the physiological state and/or phenotypic features of those cells that have not yet had direct contact with the virus or are even intrinsically unable to become infected by the particular virus. These effects may be mediated by sensing the chemical signals released by lysing or by infected cells as well as by more indirect mechanisms.
