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

Programmable bacterial adhesion enables applications in biocatalysis, living materials, and targeted drug delivery. This functionality can be achieved through the expression of synthetic adhesins in bacterial cells. These molecules are hybrid proteins composed of four key elements: (i) a signal peptide for secretion; (ii) the beta barrel domain of an autotransporter for surface display; (iii) a nanobody module providing specific recognition and targeting capabilities; and (iv) an epitope tag for expression tracking and localization. This chapter describes a detailed protocol for visualizing these synthetic adhesins on Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida using indirect immunofluorescence combined with Super-Resolution Microscopy (SRM) techniques, such as STimulated Emission Depletion (STED). The workflow includes plasmid introduction into the bacterial cells, induction, immunostaining, and image acquisition to spatially track the adhesins on the cell surface.
