Hormogonium Development and Motility in Filamentous Cyanobacteria.
Review in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Filamentous cyanobacteria exhibit some of the greatest developmental complexity observed in the prokaryotic domain. This includes the ability to differentiate nitrogen-fixing cells known as heterocysts, spore-like akinetes, and hormogonia, which are specialized motile filaments capable of gliding on solid surfaces. Hormogonia and motility play critical roles in several aspects of the biology of filamentous cyanobacteria, including dispersal, phototaxis, the formation of supracellular structures, and the establishment of nitrogen-fixing symbioses with plants. While heterocyst development has been investigated extensively at the molecular level, much less is known about akinete or hormogonium development and motility. This is due, in part, to the loss of developmental complexity during prolonged laboratory culture in commonly employed model filamentous cyanobacteria. In this review, recent progress in understanding the molecular level regulation of hormogonium development and motility in filamentous cyanobacteria is discussed, with a focus on experiments performed using the genetically tractable model filamentous cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme, which retains the developmental complexity of field isolates.
