Role of the LuxR solo, SdiA, in eavesdropping on foreign bacteria.
Review in FEMS microbiology reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Bacteria can cooperate by coordinating their gene expression through the production, release, and detection of small molecules, a phenomenon known as quorum sensing (QS). One type of QS commonly found in Gram-negative bacteria utilizes a LuxI-type enzyme to produce a signaling molecule of the N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) family, and a transcription factor of the LuxR family to detect and respond to the AHL. In a subset of Enterobacteriaceae, including Escherichia coli and Salmonella, no LuxI family member is present and no AHLs are synthesized. However, they encode a LuxR family member, SdiA, that is used to detect the QS molecules of other bacterial species, a behavior known as eavesdropping. Despite significant research on the topic, the overall role of SdiA-mediated eavesdropping in these bacteria remains unclear. In this review, we discuss the phenotypes and regulons of SdiA in the Enterobacteriaceae.
