1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 contain multiple subcellular compartments that enable a variety of biochemical activities and behaviors. In many cases, the organization of these organelles is not random and is directly linked to their function. In the last decade, mechanistic studies have uncovered the machinery responsible for organelle positioning in some bacterial systems. Here, we review several such positioning systems with an emphasis on two arrangement patterns and the molecular mechanisms used to achieve them. We start with carboxysomes as an illustration of how a ParA/MinD ATPase system is used to equally distribute organelles in a cell. We follow with an example of an actin-like cytoskeletal system that links lipid-bounded magnetosome organelles into a continuous chain. We finally explore emerging models of bacterial organelle positioning and conclude with an outlook on the future opportunities in the study of bacterial organelle cell biology.
