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

importanceMicrobial cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) reflects nonspecific adhesion ability and affects various physiological processes, such as biofilm formation and pollutant biodegradation. Understanding the regulation mechanisms of CSH will contribute to illuminating microbial adaptation strategies and provide guidance for controlling CSH artificially to benefit humans. Sphingomonads, a common bacterial group with great xenobiotic-degrading ability, generally show higher CSH than typical Gram-negative bacteria, which plays a positive role in organic pollutant capture and cell colonization. This study verified that the variations of two native plasmids involved in synthesizing outer membrane proteins and polysaccharides greatly affected the CSH of sphingomonads. It is feasible to control their CSH by changing the plasmid copy number and sequences. Additionally, considering that plasmids are likely to evolve faster than chromosomes, the CSH of sphingomonads may evolve quickly to respond to environmental changes. Our results provide valuable insights into the CSH regulation and evolution of sphingomonads.
