Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Phage-induced lysis of Gram-negative bacterial hosts usually requires a set of phage lysis proteins, a holin, an endopeptidase, and a spanin system, to disrupt each of the three cell envelope layers. Genome annotations and previous studies identified a gene region in the IMPORTANCE: Lysis of bacteria can have multiple consequences, such as the release of host DNA to foster robust biofilm. Phage-induced lysis of Gram-negative cells requires the disruption of three layers, the outer and inner membranes and the cell wall. In most cases, the lysis systems of phages infecting Gram-negative cells comprise holins to disrupt or depolarize the membrane, thereby releasing or activating endolysins, which then degrade the cell wall. This, in turn, allows the spanins to become active and fuse outer and inner membranes, completing cell envelope disruption and allowing phage egress. Here, we show that the presence of these three components may not be sufficient to allow cell lysis, implicating that also in known phages, further factors may be required.
