Prokaryotic mechanosensitive channels mediate copper influx.
Article in Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Copper is an essential micronutrient in all kingdoms of life, requiring a meticulous balance between acquisition and toxic overload. While copper import in eukaryotes has been investigated extensively, few prokaryotic copper importers have been identified, leading to the notion that cytoplasmic copper uptake is unnecessary in prokaryotes. Here we report that mechanosensitive channels are key players in prokaryotic copper import. Deletion of the gene encoding the Escherichia coli small mechanosensitive channel,
