DNA Transactions in Bacteria and Membranes: A Place for the Hfq Protein?
Review in Membranes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
DNA metabolism consists of crucial processes occurring in all living cells. These processes include various transactions, such as DNA replication, genetic recombination, transposition, mutagenesis, and DNA repair. While it was initially assumed that these processes might occur in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells, subsequent reports indicated the importance of the cell membrane in various DNA transactions. Furthermore, newly identified factors play significant roles in regulating DNA-related cellular processes. One such factor is the Hfq protein, originally discovered as an RNA chaperone but later shown to be involved in several molecular mechanisms. These include DNA transactions and interaction with the cell membrane. Recent studies have suggested that Hfq plays a role in the regulation of DNA replication, mutagenesis, and recombination. In this narrative review, we will focus on the importance of membranes in DNA transactions and discuss the potential role of Hfq-mediated regulation of these processes in
