Resuscitation Promotion Factor: A Pronounced Bacterial Cytokine in Propelling Bacterial Resuscitation.
Review in Microorganisms, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
While confronted with unfavorable growth conditions, bacteria may transform into the dormant state, such as viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state, which is a reversible state characterized by low metabolic activity and lack of division. These dormant cells can be reactivated through the influence of the resuscitation promoting factor (Rpf) family, which are classified as autocrine growth factors and possess peptidoglycan hydrolase activities. To date, with the significant resuscitation or growth promotion ability of Rpf, it has been extensively applied to increasing bacterial diversity and isolating functional microbial species. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the distribution, mode of action, and functional mechanisms of Rpf proteins in various bacterial species. The aim is to create opportunities for decoding microbial communities and extracting microbial resources from real samples across different research fields.
