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

Animal communication within a community is essential for their survival and reproduction. This phenomenon is not restricted to animals but is also prevalent in prokaryotes, which employ quorum sensing (QS) mechanisms for communication and behavior. Despite their importance, cell-cell communication in prokaryotes has not been cataloged in detail. Therefore, we developed a comprehensive map of cell-cell microbial communication by analyzing 15,297 prokaryotic genomes, thereby expanding the scope of the AI-2 signal in the microbiome. We showed that LsrB receptors are found in 15 bacterial phyla and can regulate the expression of genes involved in the biosynthesis of siderophore group nonribosomal peptides and biofilm formation via LsrB in
