Dynamics and Structural Responses to Cis-Trans Isomerization in Bacterial Lipid Bilayers.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bacterial and eukaryotic cells must respond to a changing environment and have multiple adaptive mechanisms to respond to environmental stresses. Exogenous stresses, such as temperature fluctuations and osmotic pressure, are known to influence cell membrane fluidity and gene expression. To maintain membrane homeostasis, Gram-negative bacteria show a short-term membrane composition response to temperature changes. Specifically, these bacteria isomerize unsaturated fatty acid tails in their bilayers, switching unsaturation sites from the more common cis isomer to the trans isomer. Cis-trans isomerization in unsaturated fatty acids increases cell membrane rigidity, decreasing the fluidity of the lipid acyl tails. These changes maintain membrane homeostasis, but the effect size is difficult to quantify
