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

Phage-induced lysis of bacteria transforms population dynamics, community structure, and ecosystem functioning. Scaling up infected cell fate to quantify population- and ecosystem-scale impacts requires estimates of viral life-history traits, including underlying heterogeneity in the timing, efficiency, and outcome of lytic infections. However, the variability of lysis-associated phage traits remains poorly characterized. Here, we infer single-cell heterogeneity in lysis-associated traits for an ecologically relevant system: Syn9, a T4-like cyanophage infecting
