Co-ordinated assembly of the multilayered cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria.
Review in Current opinion in microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Bacteria surround themselves with complex cell envelopes to maintain their integrity and protect against external insults. The envelope of Gram-negative organisms is multilayered, with two membranes sandwiching the periplasmic space that contains the peptidoglycan cell wall. Understanding how this complicated surface architecture is assembled during cell growth and division is a major fundamental problem in microbiology. Additionally, because the envelope is an important antibiotic target and determinant of intrinsic antibiotic resistance, understanding the mechanisms governing its assembly is relevant to therapeutic development. In the last several decades, most of the factors required to build the Gram-negative envelope have been identified. However, surprisingly, little is known about how the biogenesis of the different cell surface layers is co-ordinated. Here, we provide an overview of recent work that is beginning to uncover the links connecting the different envelope biosynthetic pathways and assembly machines to ensure uniform envelope growth.
