Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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 outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is not energised and so processes requiring a driving force must connect to energy-transduction systems in the inner membrane (IM). Tol (Tol-Pal) and Ton are related, proton motive force- (PMF-) coupled assemblies that stabilise the OM and import essential nutrients, respectively. Both rely on proton-harvesting IM motor (stator) complexes, which are homologues of the flagellar stator unit Mot, to transduce force to the OM through elongated IM force transducer proteins, TolA and TonB, respectively. How PMF-driven motors in the IM generate mechanical work at the OM via force transducers is unknown. Here, using cryoelectron microscopy, we report the 4.3Å structure of the
