Disrupting Central Carbon Metabolism Increases β-Lactam Antibiotic Susceptibility in Vibrio cholerae.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2023. 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
Antibiotic tolerance, the ability of bacteria to sustain viability in the presence of typically bactericidal antibiotics for extended time periods, is an understudied contributor to treatment failure. The Gram-negative pathogen Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, becomes highly tolerant to β-lactam antibiotics (penicillin and related compounds) in a process requiring the two-component system VxrAB. VxrAB is induced by exposure to cell wall damaging conditions, which results in the differential regulation of >100 genes. While the effectors of VxrAB are relatively well known, VxrAB environment-sensing and activation mechanisms remain a mystery. Here, we used transposon mutagenesis to screen for mutants that spontaneously upregulate VxrAB signaling. This screen was answered by genes known to be required for proper cell envelope homeostasis, validating the approach. Unexpectedly, we also uncovered a new connection between central carbon metabolism and antibiotic tolerance in Vibrio cholerae. Inactivation of
