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

Plasmid partitioning and bacterial conjugation are critical processes ensuring plasmid maintenance and dissemination, respectively, within bacterial populations. Although traditionally regarded as distinct phenomena, these two processes are increasingly recognized as interconnected. While partitioning ensures plasmid inheritance during cell division, its potential influence on conjugative transfer remains poorly understood. A major impediment to understanding their interplay is that partition systems are often essential for plasmid stability, making it difficult to distinguish their direct effects on conjugation. In this study, we addressed this challenge using a mini-conjugative plasmid derived from the
