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

The proton-motive force (PMF), consisting of a pH gradient and a membrane potential (ΔΨ) underpins many processes essential to bacterial growth and/or survival. Yet bacteria often enter a bioenergetically diminished state characterized by a low PMF. Consequently, they have increased tolerance for diverse stressors, including clinical antibiotics. Despite the ubiquity of low metabolic rates in the environment, the extent to which bacteria have agency over entry into such a low-bioenergetic state has received relatively little attention. Here, we tested the hypothesis that production of redox-active metabolites (RAMs) could drive such a physiological transition.
