From growth to autolysis: the murein hydrolases in Escherichia coli.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 74 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
Murein hydrolases cleave bonds in the bacterial exoskeleton, the murein (peptidoglycan) sacculus, a covalently closed bag-shaped polymer made of glycan strands that are crosslinked by peptides. During growth and division of a bacterial cell, these enzymes are involved in the controlled metabolism of the murein sacculus. Murein hydrolases are believed to function as pacemaker enzymes for the enlargement of the murein sacculus since opening of bonds in the murein net is needed to allow the insertion of new subunits into the sacculus. Furthermore, they are responsible for splitting the septum during cell division. The murein turnover products that are released during growth are further degraded by these (1 --> 6)-anhydromuramic acid derivatives by an intramolecular transglycosylation reaction.
