The Bacterial Nucleoid: From Electron Microscopy to Polymer Physics-A Personal Recollection.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 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
In the 1960s, electron microscopy did not provide a clear answer regarding the compact or dispersed organization of the bacterial nucleoid. This was due to the necessary preparation steps of fixation and dehydration (for embedding) and freezing (for freeze-fracturing). Nevertheless, it was possible to measure the lengths of nucleoids in thin sections of slow-growing
