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

The evolution of gene regulation is a major source of evolutionary adaptation and innovation, particularly when organisms encounter new or changing environments. Central to this process is the emergence of new transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs). Adaptive landscapes provide a powerful framework to study such emergence by linking regulatory DNA sequences to their transcriptional outputs. Although several landscapes have been characterized for DNA, RNA, and proteins, large-scale in vivo adaptive landscapes for bacterial TFBSs remain scarce. Here, we address this gap by experimentally mapping the first comprehensive in vivo regulatory landscapes for three global transcription factors in
