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

Bacillus subtilis relies on biofilms for survival in harsh environments. Extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) is a crucial component of biofilms, yet the dynamics of EPS production in single cells remain elusive. To unveil the modulation of EPS synthesis, we built a minimal network model comprising the SinI-SinR-SlrR module, Spo0A, and EPS. Stochastic simulations revealed that antagonistic interplay between SinI and SinR enables EPS production in bursts. SlrR widens these bursts and increases their frequency by stabilizing SinR-SlrR complexes and depleting free SinR. DNA replication and chromosomal positioning of key genes dictate pulsatile changes in the slrR:sinR gene dosage ratio (g
