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

On solid media, Acanthamoeba harboring the endosymbiotic bacterium (Neochlamydia) carries live Escherichia coli on its cell surface without phagocytosing this bacterium, and defends against infection by Legionella pneumophila of a small size in an endosymbiotic bacterium-dependent manner. This implies the presence of an unknown protective mechanism. Therefore, we exami-ned the physical properties of the carried bacteria using transposon insertion mutants that had lost the "backpack" on solid media. A mutant was selected from a library in which the nhaA gene, encoding a Na
