Toroidal displacement of
Article in mBio, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Competition for resources is one of the major drivers for evolution and retention of new traits in microbial communities. Quorum sensing-dependent traits of the opportunistic human pathogen IMPORTANCE: Competition is common among organisms in nature. Bacteria have been known to deal with their neighbors using toxins and enzymes that kill or disable the latter. Here, we describe a simple, detergent-mediated mechanism that a common bacterium employs against its neighbor to push them away. This only happens in a time of scarcity of iron, an element essential for life, big and small.
