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

Understanding where proteins are localized in a bacterial cell is essential for understanding their function and regulation. This is particularly important for proteins that are involved in cell division, which localize at the division septum and assemble into highly regulated complexes. Current knowledge of these complexes has been greatly facilitated by super-resolution imaging using fluorescent protein fusions. Herein, we demonstrate with FtsZ that single-molecule PALM images can be obtained in-vivo using a genetically fused nanotag (ALFA), and a corresponding nanobody fused to mEos3.2. The methodology presented is applicable to other bacterial proteins.
