Bacterial Adhesion on Soft Surfaces: The Dual Role of Substrate Stiffness and Bacterial Growth Stage.
Article in Microorganisms, 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
The surface adhesion and stiffness of underlying substrates mediate the geometry, mechanics, and self-organization of expanding bacterial colonies. Recent studies have qualitatively indicted that stiffness may impact bacterial attachment and accumulation, yet the variation in the cell-to-surface adhesion with substrate stiffness remains to be quantified. Here, by developing a cell-level force-distance spectroscopy (FDS) technique based on atomic force microscopy (AFM), we simultaneously quantify the cell-surface adhesion and stiffness of the underlying substrates to reveal the stiffness-dependent adhesion of the phototrophic bacterium
