Gabija restricts phage circularization and DNA replication.
Article in Cell host & microbe, 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
Anti-bacteriophage systems such as restriction-modification and CRISPR-Cas have DNA substrate specificity mechanisms that enable the identification of invaders. How Gabija, a highly prevalent nuclease-helicase antiphage system, limits phage replication while executing self- vs. non-self-discrimination remains unknown. Here, we show that phage-encoded DNA end-binding proteins that antagonize host RecBCD sensitize phages to Gabija. When targeting a temperate lambda-like phage in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Gabija prevents phage genome circularization and subsequent replication. DNA end-binding complexes, including a phage exonuclease and a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-annealing protein or Gam
