Type VI secretion system-mediated bacterial antagonism in the classroom.
Article in Access microbiology, 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
The study of bacterial antagonism, and specifically type VI secretion system (T6SS)-mediated antagonism, has gained momentum over the last decade in research laboratories across the world. The T6SS is a molecular machine that mediates interbacterial antagonism, as well as interactions with the host in the case of pathogenic or commensal organisms. Here, we describe a set of protocols and materials that can be used as resources to develop practical courses to study the assembly and firing of this machinery. These resources help train students on basic molecular biology techniques and secretion and competition assays, as well as fluorescence microscopy. The full set of activities is appropriate for students at the level of second- to third-year students in the Bachelor of Biology and can be carried out in 4 days requiring minimal specialized equipment. This course allows the students to familiarize themselves with standard microbiology laboratory approaches and learn how to study the function of a complex molecular machinery.
