A promiscuous Bcd amino acid dehydrogenase promotes biofilm development in Bacillus subtilis.

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
Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) resides at the crossroads of nitrogen and carbon metabolism, catalyzing the reversible conversion of L-glutamate to α-ketoglutarate and ammonium. GDH paralogs are ubiquitous across most species, presumably enabling functional specialization and genetic compensation in response to diverse conditions. Staphylococcus aureus harbors a single housekeeping GDH (GudB), whereas Bacillus subtilis encodes both a major and a minor GDH, GudB and RocG, respectively. In an unsuccessful attempt to identify an alternative GDH in S. aureus, we serendipitously discovered previously unrecognized GDH activity in two metabolic enzymes of B. subtilis. The hexameric Val/Leu/Ile dehydrogenase Bcd (formerly YqiT) catabolizes branched-chain amino acids and to a lesser extent glutamate using NAD
