Obligate autotrophy at the thermodynamic limit of life in a new acetogenic bacterium.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
One of the important current issues of bioenergetics is the establishment of the thermodynamic limits of life. There is still no final understanding of what is the minimum value of the energy yield of a reaction that is sufficient to be used by an organism (the so-called "biological quantum of energy"). A reasonable model for determination of the minimal energy yield would be microorganisms capable of living on low-energy substrates, such as acetogenic prokaryotes. The most prominent metabolic feature of acetogens is autotrophic growth with molecular hydrogen and carbon dioxide as the substrates, which is hardly competitive in environments. Most probably, that is why only facultative autotrophic acetogens have been known so far. Here, we describe the first obligately autotrophic acetogenic bacterium
