Closely Related Brucella Species Widely Differ in their Vegetative and Intracellular Growth.
Article in Current microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Growth rate is a key prokaryotic trait that allows for estimating fitness and understanding cell metabolism. While it has been well studied in model organisms, there is limited data on slow-growing bacteria. In particular, there is a lack of quantitative studies on Brucella species. This genus includes important microorganisms that are causative agents of brucellosis, one of the most widespread bacterial zoonoses, affecting several species of animals, including humans. Brucella species exhibit approximately 97% genomic similarity. Despite this, Brucella species show different host preferences, zoonotic risks, and pathogenicity. After more than one hundred years of research, numerous aspects of Brucella biology, such as in vivo and in vitro growth, remain poorly characterized. In this work, we analyzed vegetative and intracellular growth of the classical Brucella species (B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis, B. ovis, and B. canis). Strikingly, each species displayed distinct growth parameters in culture. Doubling time (DT) ranged from 2.7 hs
