Competence induction of homologous recombination genes protects pneumococcal cells from genotoxic stress.
Article in mBio, 2025. 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
Homologous recombination (HR) is a universally conserved mechanism of DNA strand exchange between homologous sequences, driven in bacteria by the RecA recombinase. HR is key for the maintenance of bacterial genomes via replication fork restart and DNA repair, as well as for their plasticity via the widespread mechanism of natural transformation. Transformation involves the capture and internalization of exogenous DNA in the form of single strands, followed by HR-mediated chromosomal integration. In the human pathogen
