1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

For many years the surprising multiplicity, signal input diversity, and output specificity of c-di-GMP signaling proteins has intrigued researchers studying bacterial second messengers. How can several signaling pathways act in parallel to produce specific outputs despite relying on the same diffusible second messenger maintained at a certain global cellular concentration? Such high specificity and flexibility arise from combining modes of local and global c-di-GMP signaling in complex signaling networks. Local c-di-GMP signaling can be experimentally shown by three criteria being met: (i) highly specific knockout phenotypes for particular c-di-GMP-related enzymes, (ii) actual cellular c-di-GMP levels that remain unchanged by such mutations and/or below the K
