A three-colour stress biosensor reveals multimodal response in single cells and spatiotemporal dynamics of biofilms.
Article in NPJ biofilms and microbiomes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The plethora of stress factors that can damage microbial cells has evolved sophisticated stress response mechanisms. While existing bioreporters can monitor individual responses, sensors for detecting multimodal stress responses in living microorganisms are still lacking. Orthogonally detectable red, green, and blue fluorescent proteins combined in a single plasmid, dubbed RGB-S reporter, enable simultaneous, independent, and real-time analysis of the transcriptional response of Escherichia coli using three promoters which report physiological stress (PosmY for RpoS), genotoxicity (PsulA for SOS), and cytotoxicity (PgrpE for RpoH). The bioreporter is compatible with standard analysis and Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) combined with subsequent transcriptome analysis. Various stressors, including the biotechnologically relevant 2-propanol, activate one, two, or all three stress responses, which can significantly impact non-stress-related metabolic pathways. Implemented in microfluidic cultivation with confocal fluorescence microscopy imaging, the RGB-S reporter enabled spatiotemporal analysis of live biofilms revealing stratified subpopulations of bacteria with heterogeneous stress responses.
