Structural and functional diversity of sensor domains in bacterial transmembrane receptors.
Review in Trends in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The ability of bacteria to adapt to changing environmental conditions largely depends on transmembrane receptors that sense signal molecules and generate responses such as chemotaxis, changes in gene expression, or alterations in second-messenger levels. Although these receptors differ significantly in function, they share a common mode of activation that involves signal molecule interaction with sensor domains. A major challenge in microbiology lies in the limited knowledge of ligands that stimulate receptors. Here, we review recent advances in this field, including the occurrence of multi-modular sensor domains, the identification of co-component signal transduction systems, evidence for sensor domain evolution from transporters, and the use of binding pocket sequence motifs to identify sensor domain ligands.
