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

Microorganisms are exposed in their natural niches to a wide diversity of signal molecules. Specific detection of these signals results in alterations in microbial metabolism and physiology. Auxins like indole-3-acetic acid are key phytohormones that regulate plant growth and development. Nonetheless, auxin biosynthesis is not restricted to plants but is ubiquitous in all kingdoms of life. This wide phylogenetic distribution of auxins production, together with the diversity of regulated cellular processes, have made auxins key intra- and inter-kingdom signal molecules in life modulating, for example microbial physiology, metabolism and virulence. Despite their increasing importance as global signal molecules, the mechanisms by which auxins perform their regulatory functions in microorganisms are largely unknown. In this article, we outline recent research that has advanced our knowledge of the mechanisms of bacterial auxin perception. We also highlight the potential applications of this research in aspects such as antibiotic production, biosensor design, plant microbiome engineering and antivirulence therapies.
