Pervasive phosphorylation by phage T7 kinase disarms bacterial defences.
Article in Nature, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Bacteria and bacteriophages are in a constant arms race to develop defence and anti-defence systems, respectively. Currently known phage-encoded anti-defence systems are specific to the activity of the targeted bacterial defence system. Here we identify a mechanism by which the T7 bacteriophage broadly counteracts bacterial defences using protein phosphorylation. Its kinase (T7K), which has been reported to redirect the function of a few host proteins
