EbsA is essential for both motility and biofilm formation in the filamentous cyanobacterium

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
Many cyanobacteria, both unicellular and filamentous, exhibit surface motility driven by type IV pili (T4P). While the component parts of the T4P machinery described in other prokaryotes are largely conserved in cyanobacteria, there are also several T4P proteins that appear to be unique to this phylum. One recently discovered component is EbsA, which has been characterized in two unicellular cyanobacteria. EbsA was found to form a complex with other T4P proteins and is essential for motility. Additionally, deletion of
