Twists and turns: 40 years of investigating how and why bacteria swim.
Review in Microbiology (Reading, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fifty years of research has transformed our understanding of bacterial movement from one of description, based on a limited number of electron micrographs and some low-magnification studies of cells moving towards or away from chemical effectors, to probably the best understood behavioural system in biology. We have a molecular understanding of how bacteria sense and respond to changes in their environment and detailed structural insights into the workings of one of the most complex motor structures we know of. Thanks to advances in genomics we also understand how, through evolution, different species have tuned and adapted a core shared system to optimize behaviour in their specific environment. In this review, I will highlight some of the unexpected findings we made during my over 40-year career, how those findings changed some of our understanding of bacterial behaviour and biochemistry and some of the battles to have those observations accepted.
