Genetic manipulation of candidate phyla radiation bacteria provides functional insights into microbial dark matter.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 study of bacteria has yielded fundamental insights into cellular biology and physiology, biotechnological advances and many therapeutics. Yet due to a lack of suitable tools, the significant portion of bacterial diversity held within the candidate phyla radiation (CPR) remains inaccessible to such pursuits. Here we show that CPR bacteria belonging to the phylum Saccharibacteria exhibit natural competence. We exploit this property to develop methods for their genetic manipulation, including the insertion of heterologous sequences and the construction of targeted gene deletions. Imaging of fluorescent protein-labeled Saccharibacteria provides high spatiotemporal resolution of phenomena accompanying epibiotic growth and a transposon insertion sequencing genome-wide screen reveals the contribution of enigmatic Saccharibacterial genes to growth on their Actinobacteria hosts. Finally, we leverage metagenomic data to provide cutting-edge protein structure-based bioinformatic resources that support the strain
