Interactions and evolutionary relationships among bacterial mobile genetic elements.
Review in Nature reviews. Microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) have profound influence on the ecology and evolution of organisms, including bacteria. During the past two decades, a great number of new types of MGEs have been discovered that now seem to be prevalent in diverse bacterial lineages. With the rapid discovery of new categories of MGEs comes an array of new acronyms that present a challenge to grasp. Moreover, it is now clear that there are complex evolutionary connections and molecular interactions among MGEs, and that these entities are not discrete, independent genetic elements acting in isolation. Different types of MGEs share and exchange genes, and coresident MGEs interact with each other within cells, in both cooperative and antagonistic ways. This all greatly affects the end results that are felt by the host organism. In this Review, we strive to clarify emerging bacterial MGE terms and elements while also presenting a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge landscape regarding MGEs in bacteria, their evolutionary relationships and interactions with their host and with one another.
