The ComRS-SigX Pathway Regulates Natural Transformation in Streptococcus ferus.
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 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 ability to take up and incorporate foreign DNA via natural transformation is a well-known characteristic of some species of Streptococcus, and is a mechanism that rapidly allows for the acquisition of antibacterial resistance. Here, we describe that the understudied species Streptococcus ferus is also capable of natural transformation and uses a system analogous to that identified in Streptococcus mutans. S. mutans natural transformation is under the control of the alternative sigma factor
