Fission yeast obeys a linear size law under nutrient titration.
Article in microPublication biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Steady-state cell size and geometry depend on growth conditions. Here, we use an experimental setup based on continuous culture and single-cell imaging to study how cell volume, length, width and surface-to-volume ratio vary across a range of growth conditions including nitrogen and carbon titration, the choice of nitrogen source, and translation inhibition. Overall, we find cell geometry is not fully determined by growth rate and depends on the specific mode of growth rate modulation. However, under nitrogen and carbon titrations, we observe that the cell volume and the growth rate follow the same linear scaling.
