Cytochrome nanowires under electron microscopy.
Review in Emerging topics in life sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Microbial nanowires are appendages that Bacteria and Archaea use to transfer electrons to external surfaces, such as minerals, electrodes, or other microbes. While initial studies suggested that nanowires were modified pili, recent advancements in cryo-EM revealed that microbial nanowires are composed of multi-heme c-type cytochromes. In this review, we discuss the discovery of microbial nanowires, advancements that allowed elucidation of their near-atomic resolution cryo-EM structures, and the impact of heme arrangement on electron transfer. We also discuss how new structural information can be used to identify filaments in images from published literature. The structural insights gained from these studies provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying long-range electron transport in microbial nanowires and their potential applications in bioelectronics and energy-generating microbial fuel cells.
